[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 245583, member: 1991"] Just heard on the news this morning - Pink has donated $250,000 to te bushfire relief fund. She made a huge impression on us; she was booked to appear on our Sunrise morning TV show on Channel 7, but it was the morning that the Beaconsfield miners finally were freed and she was sitting in the Sydney studio for nothing, no hope of performing (or promoting her tour). But instead of getting all Diva about it, she sat there with no pretentions and waved away all concern and said, "No, this is important. I'll come back another time." And she did. She also was getting on her high horse with PETA over "mulesing" of Aussie sheep. I agree that mulesing sheep seems cruel and barbaric, until you are shown what happens to the sheep if nothing is done. They are working to findways to avoid needing to do this, but as long as the alternative is worse... but Pink didn't just keep slamming Aussie farmers, when she was told the reasons for mulesing she did a total turnaround on the issue. Again - we love someone of principle, especially if they are prepared to change their opinion when they get more accurate information. So in general - Australia loves Pink, for many of the reasons that we value one another. Generous, warm, funny, intelligent, considerate, passionate about doing the right thing by other individuals (including animals). Marg [/QUOTE]
