Who got DWTS $424k?

Published: Thu 20 Sep 2018 10:44 AM
ACT Leader David Seymour and former Dancing with the Stars Contestant is calling on Mediaworks to release the full details of fundraising for Dancing with the Stars.
“I am thrilled to learn that we contestants and our partners raised $424k, over five times more than the last season, but I wish they’d tell us how much each charity received, as in previous seasons.
“Perhaps I’m just a bit competitive, but who wouldn’t want to know who raised the most? People who voted for their favorite contestant will want to know how much their charity received, and secrecy does nothing for the show.
“They claim the secrecy is required due to commercial sensitivity, but there was no problem releasing a breakdown in previous seasons. I believe the show is totally above board, but refusing to release the figures just adds to speculation that there’s something to hide.
“It’s taken nearly three months to get this basic figure out. So many people have said ‘I voted for you, how much did you raise for Kidsline?’ It would be nice to have an answer for them.
