By 'well targeted' does she mean Bob Carr's pet projects as he meandered around the globe gathering material for his book? He promised millions of dollars for a rhinoceros program in Sumatra. That is a lovely project for the world wildlife foundation but not for the Australian aid budget. Or does she mean Bob Carr's millions of dollars for architectural preservation in Myanmar? That is fine for some UN organisation but not for the Australian aid budget. Or does she mean by 'well targeted' the millions and millions of dollars promised to Grenada to rebuild their parliament house? Grenada is a country in the Caribbean that is rated high on the Human Development Index, as opposed to countries in our region that are rated low.
