No surprise here.

Nothing unusual here, with leftie's taking the public for a ride, whilst feathering their own nests.

Extract from today's Australian.

GetUp spent more than 70 per cent of the $12.4m in public donations it raised last year on staff salaries, administration costs and travel, despite telling supporters “every dollar” they gave would be used to build a fairer Australia with spending on billboards, hard-hitting TV ads and rallies.

The left-leaning activist group devoted $3.6m from its annual donations total to “campaign expenses” in a federal election year while outlaying $7.2m on salaries and employee benefits.

Another $1.4m was spent on back-room administration costs, $806,000 on rent, and more than $500,000 on travel to fly national director Paul Oosting and other staff around the country, according to the group’s audited financial report.

GetUp appears to use a high proportion of supporters’ donations to pay for running costs — especially salaries — compared with other organisations in the charities and non-profit sector.

With less than 29 per cent of public donations going directly to fund campaign activities, some GetUp volunteers who worked in key marginal seats during last year’s election campaign have voiced their frustration internally, questioning the group’s transparency and how money raised from special appeals was spent. Some have split from GetUp, claiming their concerns were not addressed.
