Oprah in Australia

I have nothing against Oprah but her coming to Australia is a huge farce.  I mean really, is Australia that desperate that we have to pay for Oprah and all her friends and staff etc to come here.  Yes, she is coming because everything is paid for, not because she chose to and is doing it out of her pocket.  Even their spending money, meals, everything is supplied.  In my opinion that is totally wrong and very sad
