Apparently Dick Pratt has tipped in $3m to build a statue of aussie diggers at beersheba in Israel to commemorate ther heroic deeds 90 years ago. To quote the article:

Quote:
Beersheva has embraced the visiting Australians and the legend of their ancestors remains very much alive here. The rapport the light-horsemen struck up with the children of Beersheba will be marked on April 28 by the unveiling of a life-sized bust of a Digger on horseback, to be erected at the new Park of the Australian Soldier, a $3 million project funded by Australian businessman Richard Pratt.



Surely no gevernment in its right mind would refuse a gaming license to such a kind and generous benefactor. :wink:
