"The ransom was originally $2M., but it is now $23,000"
Abu Sayyaf initially asked the wife for $23,000 She said she couldn't get that sort of money The $2m is a ransom aimed at Rodwell's familly, the aussi government or some benefactor like Dick Smith
But I don't think he has got a family from what I can gather. that leaves the aussi government and dick smith Well we can forget about the aussi government Dick Smith is his only hope I'd say (like he was for that bloke who was kidnapped in Somalia)
