Sky News Digital Editor Houghtontweets says GetUp used the bushfires as an 'opportunity” to raise money for the nonprofit's 'personal coffers'.

Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton says GetUp used the tragedy of bushfires to raise money to pay their salaries.

Mr Houghton said, “as unconscionable as it might seem”, GetUp sent an email soliciting donations on Saturday a few hours before a person succumbed to injuries caused by the fires. “If we stopped emitting today, tomorrow, is that going to stop bushfires next year?” he asked.
