http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,22682910-31477,00.html 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. ![]() |
