WP,
It would be interesting to know how much they donated. In reality all they would have to do to make that statement valid is to donate $100 to Care Australia and give $39,900 to Trisha.
Also, I know how New Idea operates. If there was a substantial donation made to Care Australia that they were involved in, they would be more likely to have a full page spread rather than a bloody footnote.
Remember this...when people whisper, Their main intention is to hide something from others.
