| From the Where2sing.com forum: Although this is a little 'off subject', the stated reason is to ensure political stability in this region as the countries listed are those where their governments don't (possibly can't) step in to help people in times of crisis - countries where a smallish natural disaster can have a devastating effect, but likewise a relatively small amount of cash (compared with that Australia spends going overseas to kill populations... tongue in cheek).
Australia's politicians are keen to present themselves as regional heavyweights, particularly so that they can then eat at the same table as the Americans and Europeans, and regional aid is the price.
I certainly wouldn't argue with anyone who pointed out that with Australia's huge overseas debt and the almost complete ownership of Australia's assets by foreigners due to years of stupid investment rules, that charity starts at home.
