The fishing vessel that rescued her wasn't Australian, I don't know who paid for the aircraft that originally located her, the media said the plane was "chartered" but nothing I read or heard said who paid so why is everyone assuming the Australian Govt did?

I reread a few articles on the subject and they didn't say that, I'm not saying you are wrong but the details are difficult to find. Daryl

There was an announcement on today's radio news that the Federal Government will be "contributing" to the cost of rescuing the girl. Exactly how much they'll be forking out wasn't mentioned. -- Regards, Noddy. |
