Abstract

The devastating series of tsunamis on Boxing Day last year resulted in a flood of requests for help and Australian aid agencies launched appeals seeking cash donations to enable them to locally source food, medicine and shelter. Lists of agencies began appearing and potential donors had to decide through which agencies they should give.
