| Aussie Charity concert raises $20 Million for Tsunami victims |
| 2005-01-08 |
| 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. |

| #3 Absolutely spot-on, lex. Howard's landslide completely denuded the MSM portrayal of Oz as one of their bastions. The anchor of Pacific Common Sense, in fact, and should be seen and credited as such in all of our endeavors in The Rim, IMHO. I would happily look to them for on-the-scene advice and to take the lead where it makes sense, as well. I'd trust Howard with my life. |

| #2 Find a way to add the Aussies to the emerging OSCE for Asia. Focus on Asia, 'mericans. Quit wasting so much bandwidth on can't help us, can't hurt us Euro-chihuahuas. |
