For the bushfire Recovery supplement I have filed 22 stories
Also provided:
Table of donors sorted alphabetically and privacy vetted
Table of insured
Five insurance tables showing how Canberra fares nationally. Plus captions
Organised house design illo; electricity pics; forestry recovery pics from outside.
Aside from standard interviews, two long meetings with large groups of Recovery bureaucrats — one including CT advertising people. Negotiations with privacy-paranoid appeal trustees. Many many phone calls liaising and passing on contact details and story ideas to other contributors and organising and teeing up photographs.
At $3000 plus $300 GST you have done very well considering quality, quantity and timeliness of filing.
Shall I send a tax invoice or will you treat in the ordinary way through contributors’ bureaucracy?
