Rich Price For Poor

Whether it's global warming or global poverty, activists always want someone else to make the difference.

From Andrew Bolt:

Rich price for poor lesson

It’s the kind of behaviour you’d expect from a global warming jet-setter instead:

ANTI-poverty campaigner Sir Bob Geldof charged $100,000 to come to Melbourne and give a speech about world suffering.

Geldof, 54, spoke about the tragedy of Third World poverty and the failure of governments to combat the crisis, at a Crown casino function on Thursday night.

I’d just laugh if it wasn’t for the fact that at least some of the cash seems to have come from taxpayers:

The payment is believed to have been funded by event sponsors including the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations.

When our governments promise to give more money to needy foreigners, Bob Geldof is not one of the foreigners I have in mind.
