Default Cyclone Larry relief fund

Donations can be made at any Commonwealth Bank branch. Cheques can be made
out to:

Premier's Disaster Relief Appeal
account number 064-013-1000-6800.
The SWIFT code for overseas customers making an internation transfer is
CTBAAU2S

An appeal hotline (Australia, +61 1800 150 411) can accept donations by
credit card. Donations over $2 are tax deductable for Australians.

If anyone overseas wants to snail-mail a cheque, I can pass them onto the
appeal. (Please don't make the cheque out to me!) Anyone on the Christmas
Card list will know my address, or you can send it directly to:

Premier's Disaster Relief Appeal
The Commonwealth Bank of Australia
Queensland Government Banking Centre
240 Queen Street
Brisbane, QLD, 4000
AUSTRALIA

Thanks, Vicky. Any way to be sure that it'll actually help the victims
rather than wind up in some high-dollar executive's salary?

That's a fund set up by the government, so it will be administrated by the
government, so it should be safe. The fund has 5.6 million in it so far, and
the largest donations have come from the qld government and some of the big
banks. I know that the federal government has put 1 million into the fund,
and given a further 40 million to the state government to help rebuilding. i
guess this will go to rebuilding farms and infrastructure, but it's being
administrated by the government so you should be ok!!
