Sydney Welcomes 2005 [ Currently Playing : Roxanne - The Police - Every Breath You Take: The Classics (03:13) ] Comments Anonymous January 01, 2005 Sorry for being pathetic. But I would have loved to see going all the money into help for Asia… instead of spending it for fireworks. But maybe that’s just me. Happy new year - now also from Germany! Anonymous January 01, 2005 You are not being pathetic this was discussed. the funds were committed the aid agencies were able to collect over $1M from attendees of the fireworks every little bit helps Anonymous January 02, 2005 Bravo. Great. Anonymous January 05, 2005 It was actually debated whether to call off the event due to the devastating event of the Tsunami’s. However, it was calculated that cancelling the event at the last minute, would cost more than going ahead with the event. Cheers, Winston. Anonymous January 11, 2005 And from what you say, a lot of money was raised that wouldn’t have if the event had been cancelled.
