Aiming at â¹46k, school raises â¹1cr after Senator's criticism
An Australian school has raised A$281,000 (â¹1.4 crore), over 300 times its goal of A$900 (â¹46,000), for a charity promoting education for African girls after Senator Cory Bernardi inadvertently advertised it. Bernardi had accused the "Do It In A Dress" fundraiser of "gender morphing," following which it made headlines. Boys and girls were allowed to wear dresses for the fundraiser.
