    Telethon is not something I would call 'trash'. It's an extremely important part of Western Australia and although it involves a lot of silly television, that's half of what Telethon is - and that 'silly' stuff brings in the money.

    Fantastic total, even without the $2.5 mil from Seven, and the State and Federal Governments, we still reached the record.

    I wonder these days what proportion of money is actually from viewers at home ringing in and donating. Most of the money seems to come from businesses.
