As part of the Parliamentary Press Gallery Midwinter Ball, a bunch of charities are set to benefit from an eBay auction of a surfing lesson with Tony Abbott.
GetUp are soliciting donations to win the auction, and will organise for a refugee who has been through Australia's immigration system to go on the lesson and talk to Mr Abbott about their experience.
With less than an hour until the end of the auction, GetUp! have already raised $27,866 (the highest current bid on eBay is $11,500).
UPDATE: They won the auction. Final price was $16,100. GetUp! raised $62,131 in donations, and have offered to give the excess money back to donors or use it on further refugee campaigns.
