[quote]Ms Gibson has been fined for five separate contraventions of the Australian Consumer Law Act. The fine includes: $90,000 for failing to donate proceeds from the sale of The Whole Pantry app, as publicly advertised $50,000 for failing to donate proceeds from the launch of The Whole Pantry app $30,000 for failing to donate proceeds from a 2014 Mothers Day event $90,000 for failing to donate other company profits $150,000 for failing to donate 100 per cent of one week's app sales to the family of Joshua Schwarz, a boy who had an inoperable brain tumour ... Justice Mortimer said despite significant publicity surrounding Ms Gibson's charitable pledges, she made only three donations totalling $10,800. She said that if Ms Gibson managed to pay the fine, it would be good to see the money donated to those who had been falsely promised donations.[/quote] [url]http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2017-09-28/disgraced-wellness-blogger-belle-gibson-fined/8995500?pfmredir=sm[/url]
