Global fund appeal

Posted by John Quiggin

I’m running another ‘cash for comment’ appeal, over at my blog. For each comment on this post on my blog I’ll give $1A to Medecins Sans Frontieres, and express a preference for projects related to the The Global Fund to fight against AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. The appeal closes 6pm Sunday, Queensland time. To be clear, you have to comment on my blog, not on CT to get counted

How much is $1A in real money (USD)?

Least I could do for a good cause.

An Australian dollar is about 60 Euro-cents. How much that comes to in banana republic money varies too wildly for accurate commentary.

I’m not going to play your game, Quiggin. I visited your site, clicked on the link, and made my own donation.

If you think you can buy my time by threatening to make a charitable donation on my behalf, it appears that you can. But not on your terms!

1 USD = .75 Euro
give or take a couple of cents either way…
