Supplementary submission: Royal Commission into National Natural Disaster Arrangements
The supplementary submission to the Royal Commission into Natural Disaster Arrangements was prepared by the Charities & Not-for-Profits Committee of the Legal Practice Section.

However, the fundraising which occurred has yet again demonstrated that Australia’s legal framework for fundraising, which is comprised of a myriad of different state and territory laws, is not fit for purpose.
