Am i bit strange to think that if person is doing something for charity or is supposedly volunteering they do it in their own time and at their expense?
Tony Abbott claims to be a friend of Indigenous Australians, regularly spending time in their communities “volunteering”. This is an enormously expensive lie. That is an insult to all the people who really do volunteer and give freely their time.
