"It really focuses on the poor and people who are least able to pay for things in society. They get attracted to these types of things," Transplant Australia chief executive Chris Thomas told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.

Kidney Australia director Doctor Tim Matthews said the country should instead focus on getting more Australians to donate their organs.

"It's a sign of how desperate things are, and in particular how desperate some people feel, having waited for a kidney for some years without any result," he told the ABC.
