How much of that is in US dollars?

And does the developer have an ulterior motive likely to surface? Or are they dying and just want to be charitable in their last days?
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

Fuxxake, and I thought I was cynical.   Did you even read the article?  Dunajtschik has always been charitable - he helped get Life Flight Trust (an air ambulance service) set up here in the 1970s.

His ulterior motive seems to be wanting to help people.  The fiend.

Very nice.

Do you know if the $50NZ (~37US) will go all toward 7000m structure only (hes' a builder so I'm guessing yes)? 

Who will fund the equipment necessary? What care level are they talking about making?

Damn skeptic atheist!

Edit: Just looked at the US construction cost for building a hospital per sq ft, around $350 dollars. So with conversions that's around 10 to 11 mil NZ (check me, bad math-er). Maybe this will include equipment. Damn fine man.

No, I didn't (was about to head to bed, not in the frame of mind for reading an article). Besides, I was just asking questions, not making statements. But yes, I'm extremely cynical.
