Should stimulus package funds be used to rebuild parts of Victoria?

In two days, the Australian public have donated $30,000,000 dollars to the Bushfire Relief Fund, yet one of the richest media tycoon's in the world allows his trophy paper, The Australian, to pose such a stupid question.

Who gives a fuck where the money comes from? Just make sure it's put to the best of use in the recovery from, what is now, one of the worlds worst bushfire disasters.

This is a totally political question, because Murdoch's underlings will do anything to support the conservatives who have screamed that their reluctance to pass the economic stimulus bill is now in some small way linked to the bushfires.

The stupid question..

The answer such a stupid question deserves.

There is a time and place to play political games, this is not the time, or the place.

Meanwhile... it gets worse by the hour

The first is from "The Australian", which Murdoch parades as his (only) quality broadsheet.
The second is from Huffington Post which claims to be the media alternative.

Give me a clever wordsmith anyday.
