A thought. I read through the site and my initial reaction, I admit very Australian, was can I trust these guys to really donate the money. A couple of ideas that might spur things along. * Allow for Paypal donations, get yourselves registered and validated with them as this will help build some trust. * Look for some industry group who could give you some "certification" to gain leverage. * Provide more About Us info on the site, let us see who you are. * Look to establish an oversight/advisory board and get a few high profile people to help you out. * Blog more, daily, even multiple times a day! (This is hard work) * Get yourself interviewed either by mainstream media or on a podcast, http://thepodcastnetwork.com have a couple of environment shows, if all else fails ask Cam Reilly to interview you himself. If you have tried all this, good work and sorry my ideas will now seem like I am preaching to the choir! :-) Andy keep working at it.

I never thought things could be worse somewhere other than America -- well, excluding real wacko places, which America may be becoming -- but it's an eye-opener to see that these things happen in Australia too.
