Ditto to what has been said above

Yes I say "good on both Mr and Misses Twiggy"

Some may argue that they can afford it

But...
In reality, there was no one twisting their arm to do what they have done

I am led to believe that in the past, they had already donated around $220 million

Maybe he'd like to make a donation to the Aborigines whose land he's made his mining millions on.

Now that really would be a nice gesture.

 Hmmmmm I would have though as a Desert Dweller you would have already been aware of the work Twiggy has done in and around the local communities where he struts his stuff.

 I'd rather give a donation than tax. At least then I'll KNOW where my money is going and most importantly that its staying in Australia.
