       THE  AUSTRALIAN  BUSHFIRES
       HAS  GENERATED  A  LOT  OF
       ATTENTION                FROM           AROUND
       THE        WORLD.             ONE         MODEL
       MADE               HEADLINES                    FOR
       SENDING  NUDE  PHOTOS  TO
       ANYONE  WHO  DONATED  TO
       THE  RELIEF  CHARITIES.  WHAT
       DID  THE  TOLUNA  COMMUNITY
       THINK ABOUT THIS?


       Of  the  1398  Australian  members  polled,
       50% thought she did a good job of raising

       funds  and  awareness.  27%  did  not  think
       this  was  the  best  way  to  fund-raise,  and
       13%  thought  this  was  a  demeaning

       publicity stunt.
