WHAT’S HOT – Aid Arena
Just like eBay with a twist, Aid Arena is a new Australian website that allows you to auction goods online and nominate a charitable organisation to receive the proceeds. There is no cost to the donor or the buyer and everyone gets the satisfaction of knowing the purchase is supporting a good cause.
WHAT’S NOT – Royal money missing
A 49-year old former official at Prince Charles' Foundation for Integrated Health has been arrested on suspicion of fraud and money laundering. The arrest follow s a police investigation into $500,000 unaccounted for in the organisation’s books. Prince Charles and his foundation promote homeopathy, herbal remedies and other complementary treatments.
