Australian suicide prevention charity Lifeline has welcomed donations from the attendees of the Canberra Freedom Convoy after cancelling a fundraising book fair scheduled for the same day as the massive protests held in front of Parliament House on Feb. 12.
State and territory government COVID-19 restrictions and the more recent vaccine mandates have impacted not just the livelihoods of many Australians around the country but also on the charity’s ability to raise funds over the last two years of lockdowns.
