Hallelujah

The federal government's faith-based drought management strategy, known affectionately as "Pray for Rain," appeared to be achieving some success this week as significant rain fell throughout much of southeast Australia. In response, John Howard reiterated the importance of national support for his policy by requesting Australians to "keep praying." Not sure how robust of a risk managment strategy prayer really is, but at least it certainly has a long history of implementation.
