Well at last I can say I'm proud of something our government is doing. Howard promises $1 billion in aid - Asia Tsunami
'The Prime Minister, John Howard, today pledged $1 billion over five years to the Indonesia's tsunami reconstruction, the largest donation made so far for the relief effort.
On the eve of today's international summit in Jakarta, Mr Howard announced a historic package which includes $500 million in direct aid and $500 million in concessional loans. He said the Indonesian President, Susilo Yudhoyono, had been “overwhelmed” by the offer and “would never forget it”.'

Agreed. I think we can be justifiably happy with the way the PM has personally involved himself with the aid effort and the international relations. Credit where credit's due.
On another note, I enjoyed playing bass for Adrian last weekend. Good stuff. Productive family.

Finally, a "mine's bigger" contest that is constructive!
