GoFundMe website shuts down Israel Folau's account due to policy breach

GoFundMe website shuts down Israel Folau's account due to policy breach

The website GoFundMe says a controversial fundraising page set up by sacked Australian rugby player Israel Folau has been shut down for promoting the exclusion of LGBT people.

Folau had his contract with Rugby Australia (RA) terminated in May after he said that "hell awaits" gay people.

He asked for public donations to help him with a legal fight against RA, arguing it dismissed him unlawfully.

GoFundMe said the page violated its rules.

All donations will be refunded.

Folau is a Christian who argues his contract termination was an act of religious discrimination.

He had received about A$760,000 in donations since the page was set up last week.
