Almost a week after a gofundme page raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to send Quaden Bayles and his mother Yarraka to Disneyland, the family say they will decline the trip as they want the funds to go to charities that need it.

American comedian Brad Williams set up the page on February 21, with the headline 'Let's send a wonderful kid to Disneyland'. Since it's creation more than twenty thousand global donors have raised over 700,000 Australian dollars.

Speaking exclusively to NITV News, Quaden's Aunty Mundanara Bayles says while it's a touching example of goodwill, the family will skip the all-expenses paid trip as they want to focus on the bigger issues at play. "We want the money to go to community organisations that really need it. They know what the money should be spent on, So as much as we want to go to Disneyland, I think our community would far off benefit from that."

"We've had seven kids at the Murri School in Brisbane, where I am on the board, take their lives in the last ten years." Tentatively titled 'Quaden's Law', Ms Bayles wants it to be mandated under state and national school curriculum. “It’s a bit overwhelming but we are doing good considering. It’s pretty full on but we are strong enough to get through especially with all the mobs support and unconditional love," she told NITV News.

How noble! 9NewsQueensland 7NewsAustralia

If he was white, the rednecks would still be rolling out the thoughts and prayers. They just can't stand to see something good happen to an Indigenous family. Toxic and bitter scum just upset that their own lives are such disappointments.

Does she have a record of some sort which might get in the way of entering the United States?

Erm, maybe it’s because of his racist rant that went public.

Because the not her knew the public was on to her. It was the only way to save face.

Meanwhile Morrison has spent more than that increasing his and his cronies salaries! Quaden is more of a Christian than what the Hellsong cult member is!

Would've Gone

AnthonyCole68 Wow

😂😂

JaneReid5 That's really nice of them

Pfft, nothing wrong with giving him a treat and donating the rest

While Disney Land treats wheelchairs and disabilities well, a small stature and any fragility of health can rule out many rides. Travelling so far with special needs, in it's self was a big challenge, though managed, for my family.

TerriBennet That is so nice, the poor boy.

They really should have gone on holiday

What a wonderful gesture.

Wow wasn’t expecting that but hats off to you and your family

Pressured into it by racists that cant stand see him getting something good

kerrymcnasty Love this. Thank you. 💕

He can’t go on any of the rides

Wait for Miranda Divine to find some way to attack this beautiful family. She’s the bully.

One third say ABC is out of touch with ‘ordinary’ AussiesA new poll suggests the ABC is out of touch with the views of “ordinary Aussies” – and a surprising age group is turning against the broadcaster. I would lean towards 2 thirds In other news, the IPA thinks the Greens are literally Hitler. That looks like a misleading headline given the article says that more survey respondents said the ABC is NOT out of touch. I think the ABC is, by far, the best, most reliable, most balanced broadcaster.

Newington College orders review after death of teacher accused of child sex abuseNewington College has said it is deeply ashamed of the criminal behaviour of some of its former staff members after several students reported allegations of sexual abuse this week following the death of a former junior school deputy headmaster. northway_debbie natassiazc This creep worked at the school for 34 years. I still suspect that the relative lack of mobility in the private school sector contributes to cover ups and stupid responses.

Weinstein verdict is ultimately an unsatisfactory victoryComment: A jury declined to convict Harvey Weinstein of predatory behaviour - how must the women who testified against him be feeling today, writes Kristine Ziwica | KZiwica KZiwica Is it time now for middle-aged men who were mesmerised by a woman's beauty and manipulated in their younger years to drag those women to court? Beauty, wealth and influence are all forms of power. KZiwica She should not take it personally, there may not have been enough evidence. It doesnt mean she wasnt believed KZiwica Are you saying the jury wrong? Jurys are not perfect just as all involved in the trial are not perfect. In matters of love and war truth steps aside, or even walks, not runs in the opposite direction.
