Struggling with my conscience.

I decided to buy a Hanlin while on my trip to Melbourne but ...

I've spent all evening listening to the radio. 84 dead, over 500 homes lost. Can I justify indulging myself further given the suffering?

I will give at least $100 to the relief fund. If I buy the Hanlin I won't have much extra for a month or so to give more.

So, opinions please. Do I get the Hanlin or just give the money to fire victims?
