Prime Minister, can I just clarify, I've heard what you've said constitutionally about Dr Hollingworth and your position as Prime Minister, but does it concern you that one of Australia's most respected child welfare groups, the Barnados, believe that our Governor General is not a suitable patron for their work and their group?

 PRESS CONFERENCE BY PRIME MINISTER OF AUSTRALIA
Australia intended to double its overseas aid to 4 billion Australian dollars a year by 2010, which would be conditioned upon improved governance and reduced corruption in recipient countries, mainly those in the Asia-Pacific region, Prime Minister John Howard said at a Headquarters press conference this morning.
The decision reflected Australia’s strong commitment to overseas development and was being taken in the context of the special United Nations Summit, he added.  Later on, responding to a question as to how standards of improved governance and reduced corruption might be measured, he said evaluations would be made on a case-by-case basis.
Responding to another question regarding whether he was concerned that the Summit might not produce anything substantive in terms of commitments, the Prime Minister said one had to be realistic about United Nations reform.  While Australia supported enlargement of the Security Council, it was realistic in recognizing the difficulties involved.
