Indonesian Tsunami..Australia gives $1 billion in aid, Pakistan floods..Australia gives $66.5 million in aid
Australians all over the country are donating to help out. It will take at least two years for the whole state to recover from this not to mention the tourism, farming and mining industries that have taken a massive hit. Mining will be alright not sure about farming and tourism recovering so easily as they only just made it through drought, a cyclone and the financial crisis. It's in times like these when everyone needs to help each other out, although it's important not to forget about the people in the rest of the world who need help too and to help them if you can
