Daily Telegraph journalist Angira Bharadwaj says after being in close communication with Red Cross representatives, she is “not confident” all donations will go to immediately aid bushfire-affected victims across the nation. The Red Cross has denied claims it is stockpiling bushfire relief donations, insisting all of the money will be spent this financial year and not on future disasters.

The Red Cross was accused of drip-feeding $95 million in bushfire relief donations and saving the rest for future disasters. Just $30 million of total donations has reportedly been doled out to bushfire-ravaged communities. Red Cross Australia NSW and ACT Director Poppy Brown said, “the money that we’re raising this year will be spent on the disaster season this year”. Image: News Corp Australia
