There is no reason to spend all of that money.Why don't we lobby everyone involved to give that money to some charity rather than spend it where they choose......
BHP are about to spend $4bn on a new Coal Port to export more of our coal. (which will create huge amounts of pollution when burnt) Why don't we lobby them to give that money to Charity.
$5m is a drop in the bucket when you look at the big picture. It would barly raise the eyebrow of a charity.

Bryan,
Theres a distinction between private and public $$$. Your response does not appear to recognise that. People are talking about how best to spend public $$$. I personally think its a very poor use of public $$$.
