New Israel Folau campaign raises more than $2.1m in three days

The Australian Christian Lobby relaunched a funding campaign for Israel Folau on Tuesday and donations quickly overtook the previous amount raised.

A new appeal by the Australian Christian Lobby to raise funds for Israel Folau's legal costs has amassed more than the original GoFundMe campaign.

The ACL relaunched a campaign for the former Wallabies star on their website on Tuesday morning and donations raced in at a rate of nearly $1000 per minute on the first day.

Only slowing down slightly in the next few days, by 6am on Thursday, it had raised more than $2.1 million.
