Aussie Charity concert raises $20 Million for Tsunami victims
The Australia Unites charity concert and telethon has raised over $20 million for the victims of the tsunami. 4000 people crammed onto the Opera House forecourt to see some of Australias top musical acts. Millions watched the concert broadcast simultaneously on all three free-to-air commercial networks. The head of World Vision in Australia Tim Costello was hoping for around $5 million in donations and is thrilled by the generosity. 30 per cent of the money will go immediately to World Vision's emergency fund to help where it is most needed.
