The government really does need to consider where its priorities lie. The papal visit has been planned for and likely budgeted for for ages, but this is clearly a real disaster on a scale not seen since the tsunami. That’s a very good call.

Rudd's announced a mere 3 million bucks to be donated via Aid agencies. I think that's so appallingly low considering how much money is spent on other crap. The NSW gov spending $76 million on the Pope's visit is so utterly unacceptable. Why can't Catholics pay for their religious leader to come visit instead of the tax-payer? I don't remember this being done for the Dalai Lama or any other religious leader. Well, maybe it has something to do with Iemma and other NSW Gov Ministers being Catholics. hmm.
