In the year 2000 world leaders got together to discuss how we could eradicate poverty. The result was the heralded Millennium Development Goals (MDG’s) a set of aspirational targets designed to alleviate poverty by 2015. This included goals such as halving hunger, progress on infant and maternal health and universal primary education. Each developed nation was asked to give 0.7 per cent of their gross domestic product (GDP) toward achieving these goals, Australia has only committed to 0.5per cent. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Lena Aahlby) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/hi-im-kevin-0.7-and-im-here-to-help/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/hi-im-kevin-0.7-and-im-here-to-help/#item4077 Mon, 20 Sep 2010 19:30:19 +0000 Lena Aahlby | Author bios | The Punch
