They simply have more than they can possibly use.<BR/><BR/>The relief appeal has reached $80Million AUD with events, concerts, sport and other fund-raisers planned over the next month it will continue to rise.<BR/><BR/>Even with the sadness of the death toll and destruction along with the smoke from the fires which has decended on Melbourne today (it really is quite bad but only miniscule when compared with the areas affected), the response from the entire country has made me PROUD TO BE AN AUSTRALIAN.<BR/><BR/>If there is something we really do well, amongst all the stuff we're shit at, it is pitching in to help a mate in trouble even if we don't know him personally.rockstar69https://www.blogger.com/profile/03070622649926776410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-71244159919147716582009-02-13T01:46:00.000+11:002009-02-13T01:46:00.000+11:00this made me cry, darlin...love and respect is rig...this made me cry, darlin...love and respect is right. too much death in too many places.savannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310843901371718758noreply@blogger.com
