Sir Bob Geldof was quick to condemn New Zealand's foreign aid contribution - but he was happy to fly home with a healthy appearance fee and a CD of copied New Zealand bands' music. Geldof appeared thrilled to receive the gift from Campbell and was unrepentant that the CD was copied: "Why the bloody hell should I care?" he said. [ah, interesting! So I guess Geldof doesn't have a problem with piracy then? Or does he?http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3530269.stm I agree with this; but not this... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Pirate_radio http://archives.tcm.ie/businesspost/2006/01/15/story11040.asp]


Geldof was in Auckland to speak at a motivational business leadership conference at the Aotea Centre on Friday, after which he criticised New Zealand for its level of foreign aid contributions. He told the Herald on Sunday he didn't know how much money he would receive for speaking at the function which charged punters $1495 per ticket. He laughed at suggestions he would donate the proceeds to charity.  "Why should I?" he said. [to make up for NZ's low contribution?] Geldof said he was a businessman who needed to earn money from speaking engagements. [well easier than selling concert tickets] The Melbourne leg of the speaking tour was cancelled due to poor ticket sales. [or is it?
