They have problems with Charity Muggers or CHUGGERS in that city as well (Brisbane). It's all over their Reddits.

"Charities lost me when they moved to that model.

The other thing that blew me away was I asked earlier this year to buy a pendant for $25 in support of the Australian Paralympic Association. I thought it was a bit rich asking for a fixed amount but grudgingly agreed. Before handing over the money I asked casually what proportion of the $25 would actually go toward the cause itself and was told less than $5! The rest went towards costs i.e. salaries, rent etc. in other words the main beneficiaries were landlords and a handful of people in need of a job. When your cost/donation ratio is 80% you have no right to ask people for money IMO. 30-40% is more reasonable."
