Ruling finds Celeste Barber’s $51m bushfire funds can’t be distributed to other charities

The Supreme Court has ruled the $51 million which comedian Celeste Barber helped to raise for bushfire victims cannot be passed on to other charities. More than a million people donated to Celeste Barber's bushfire campaign believing the money could go to a range of charities. However the comedian nominated the 'NSW RFS and Brigades Donation Fund' when she launched her campaign in January. The court has subsequently ruled some of the money can support injured firefighters and the families of those who lost their lives fighting the blazes.
