While the causes are noble and the individuals are well intentioned there is some irony in the fact that Australians are seeking to use a track in a country with a subsistence economy to raise funds for a cause in our land of plenty. There is no doubt that most of these Samaritans know little about the plight of our neighbours in Papua New Guinean before they land in the country.
