Not sure I'd be charging them for rescue efforts...big can o worms that one, but I'd be taking an issue about their perception of what their Govt.'s role is in these situations.
It's the Australian Government, not Thomas Cook for cryin' out loud! Every time something happens OS, somehow, the Australian Govt. gets apportioned some blame. In fairness, if I was in their position, I'd really appreciate their assistance, but I wouldn't
expect it! Obviously, the welfare state extends beyond our shores.
