I was blessed to get a ticket to the Make Poverty History concert in Melbourne tonight. I guess it could be described as Australia’s Live 8. Bono and Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedde opened the event. A few well known Aussie and overseas bands performed - personal favs were Jet, Paul Kelly, Eskimo Joe, and Evermore. Tim Costello was among those who spoke on the need to ‘make poverty history’ - and he had plenty to say to his brother, the Australian Treasurer, Peter Costello - none of it flattering!
