Indonesia suffers while Australia keeps on watching Big Brother
Written by betakappa on 5/28/2006 02:18:00 AMAfter the devastating tsunami taking 168,000 Indonesian lives in 2004 yet another natural disaster strikes. Barely recovering, Indonesia is struck down again, this time by an earthquake. More than 3700 people killed as of 28 May 2006.
Yet here in Australia, its like nothing happened. Indonesia is practically in our own backyard yet we act like they're a million miles away.
Obsessed with nothings like Big Brother and supposed "heroes" (the 2 miners rescued)
Australia is putting $3m in aid for Indonesia. And that was after tripling their initial planned aid of $1m. Compare this with the $2.75m paid to the rescued miners by Channel Seven for their story.
Talk about a "generous" donation..
