Congratulations!
It’s the taxpayers of Australia who pay for this publicity stunt.
No one is holding a gun to their head to rescue anyone or pay for any rescue. It’s a free will choice.
OK, I'll concede you this. Thank you Australian taxpayers for coming to the rescue of one brave 16-year-old American adventurer who has found better things to do with her life than sit in front of the TV or video games.
