I must be missing something, so I'd be pleased if someone can tell me specifically where the charity money goes. There's hundreds of $ millions raised already.

- if your house burns down, you have an insurance payout to rebuild or buy again. Some won't be insured, but this expense is Covered.
- where services (water, electricity, sewrage, telco) are destroyed, the companies and/or government pay for the rebuild. Covered.
- if commercial property is destroyed, private enterprise and/or government pay to rebuild (if they choose). Covered.
- most burned animals will die. Not many would survive and be needing vert treatment. Probably some need here but I can't find figures.
- fire services and emergency services are already well funded (from what I hear). Covered.

So I'm thinking the money would mostly go to two things: 1) business owners who won't be able to generate revenue, and 2) temporary accomodation.

What am I missing?

It appears from what little can be discovered that the money from the 2009 bushfire donations has not all been spent !

So this will be the same, just normal bureaucratic bull dust and it will also not actually go to the people who deserve it.

You are better of going to an area near you and giving the money to someone who has been effected directly
