Forrest, chairman and former CEO of mining company Fortescue Metals Group, announced the donation -- which will be distributed to a number of different causes -- in Canberra, explaining that recent strength in the iron ore market meant he could once again afford to donate vast sums of money.


"We had a slightly unsustainable business model previously where we would actually borrow money to give it away Air Max 2017 Sale Clearance ," Forrest said on Monday.


"And fortunately, we don't have to do that now thanks to the strength of the iron ore sector, the leadership of this country throughout the ages, and that word I would like to introduce more commonly into the dialogue of leadership, which is courage'."

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, present at the announcement at the Parliamet House in Canberra, described the nation's "biggest single philanthropic gift" as a "game-changer".


"It is a game-changer in the Australian philanthropic community. And it will change the lives of thousands of people here in and around the world," Turnbull said.


"But all of us should seek to do as much as we can with what we have. So, this is real leadership and leading by example."

ZAGREB Nike Air Max 2017 Sale , Aug. 28 (Xinhua) -- Croatian national football headcoach Ante Cacic said here on Monday ahead of the clashes withKosovo and Turkey that his team is still at the top of the groupand promised to show quality in the four remaining matches.


Croatia saw its comfortable lead cut in the last qualifyingmatch played in June on Iceland, where Cacic's squad suffered itsfirst defeat in the World Cup 2018 qualifying campaign.


After six of 10 scheduled matches, Croatia and Iceland are tiedon top of the group with 13 points each, but the Croatian team hada head-to-head advantage on goal-difference.


On Sept. 2, Croatia will host Kosovo at Maksimir Stadium inZagreb and will be heavily favored to win three points. After thatthe road gets tougher for the team headed by Real Madrid star LukaModric. Croatia will travel to Turkey on Sept. 5 Nike Air Max 90 Sale , host Finland onOct. 6 and travel to Ukraine in the final round of groupmatches.


Only the best team in each of nine groups will qualify for the2018 World Cup in Russia, and the eight best second-placed teamswill have to battle for the four remaining places in the playoffsthat will take place in November.


"We still have some injured key players but I am confident thatour team have quality and that will show it during the next 45 daysand four remaining matches," Cacic said on Monday when he revealedthat new AC Milan striker Nikola Kalinic is not in his plan for thegame against Kosovo because he hasn't yet reached his optimal shapeafter a two-month long transfer saga from Fiorentina.


However, Cacic believes that he will have a stronger team, bothphysically and mentally Nike Air Max Sale , than the one that was beaten in Iceland inJune.


"Players are now fresh and more eager to reach our goal than itwas the case in June when they were tired and at the end of a verylong season. We had players who came directly from the ChampionsLeague final," Cacic pointed out.


When he revealed his list of players for the upcoming matcheswith Luka Modric's name on it, many Croatian fans breathed a bigsigh of relief as speculations about his possible prematureretirement from national duties ended up being false alarms.


"Luka Modric is our captain, the world's best midfielder, and heis a proud Croatian. He was never going to leave his national teamthis way Air Max 2018 Sale , especially as its captain."


With Modric and his up-and-coming Real Madrid teammate MateoKovacic in great form, alongside midfielder Ivan Rakitic from FCBarcelona, Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic and with Juventusstriker Mario Mandzukic also showing brilliance, it seems thatCroatia has enough firepower to stay at the top of the group andtake its place among the 32 national teams that will compete forthe World Cup trophy next year.
