1. Sydney will have a fashion week coming up in May. Do you think that festivals like these still have a place considering all of the devastation in the region (Queensland + NZ)?

I believe, that even with the terrible tragies that happened all over the world, that happy event such as Fashion and fete festival are important to continue as it will promote money spending and they can be held for charity also it will take people's mind off the recent disaster's calming them down.

Festival's are great money maker's and if even only 20% of the profit's were to go to the recent disaster's different charities it would raise a enormous amount of money that could be used to restoring the damaged property that got caught up in the disasters. It could also give the disaster victims valuable food and water and medical supplies to sustain there need's and not cause them to die from malnutrition and deadly diseases.

Secondly the people that were caught up in the disaster that go to these different festivals will find it enjoyable as it will take there mind of all there problems and make them think that they would recover from this disaster and not just stay at home thinking negatively making them sad and possibly even suicidal. 

Lastly is that even when the world is damaged and life is gone the world must go on you can't put the world on hold just because even when lot's of people get hurt other people will still want to enjoy there life.

In conclusion the festivals should be still held as they can raise money to help the disasters and provide help to the people suffering in them and the world can't revolve around them it must carry on.
