Australian Marriage Equality told SMHthat Smith's donation was made in advance of tickets going on sale in order to assist their current national "Yes" campaign — convincing Australians to vote for same-sex marriage. The remainder will go to support services for LGBTQ youth.
Smith is playing in the Opera House's Concert Hall, which has a capacity of over 2,000. With tickets ranging from AU$79.90 to AU$149.90 ($62.48 to $117.21), let's just say this donation won't be small — could be upwards of AU$50,000 ($39,000) if they book the whole venue out.
