   Providing the funds obtained are used exclusively to reduce or wipe

   out Aust overseas debt then I think it's a great idea as this would

   lift everyones standard of living - here.  I don't see the need to

   Mundingburra I think has certainly set the ball rolling.



   Ciao for now, Sandy F.
