oh, more money for the NDIS too.

Free healthcare, govt jobs for everyone, bigger tax cuts, trains, roads, buses, money for bosses, a higher dole, more help for women.
You name it, the alp will do it for us all.

Where is all this money coming from?

[Neferti]

Bull Shitten must think that there is a Money Tree in the courtyard of Parliament House!

[Bobby]

All paid for with borrowed money.

He left that bit out.

[sprintcyclist]

So, our debt will increase?

[Bobby]

So, our debt will increase?

It was $200 billion under Labor-
Then it climbed to $692 billion under the Libbos.
It will soon reach $1 trillion when Bill's in power.

He'll reach that in 12 months.

[Gordon]

I don't mind this policy actually as long as other things are shaved to pay for it, starting with foreign aid.

[Black Orchid]

None of them will shave foreign aid which is the obvious place to start. Isn't Bill going to give another $500 million to the UN?

In a letter to the Morning Bulletin Rockhampton Sat 27 Feb 2015 written by N.W.H.Timms he gave this summary on the foreign aid being paid out by the Australian tax payer . Following is the reason why we lack adequate funding for infrastructure in Australia...
FOREIGN AID... Australia has given $359 Million to Congo, $397 Million to Eygypt, $981 Million to Ethiopia, $1.4 Billion to Haiti, $351 Million to Hamas, $1.8 Billion to Iraq, $463 Million to Jorden, $304 Million to Kazakhstan ,$816 Million to Kenya, $1.45 Billion to Lybia, $622 Million to Mexico, $404 Million to Mozambique, $456 Million to Nigeria, $2 Billion to Pakistan, $698 Million to Russia, $566 Million to South Africa, $698 million to Senegal, $870 Million to Sudan, $ 554 million to Tanzania, $451 Million to Uganda, $331 Million to Zambia, $650 Million to Indonesia, and $500 million to New Guinea, so apart from the massive pay out to our totally useless politicians and thanks to our politicians who are obviously subservient to the UN/IMF/World Bank/China Infrastructure Bank, Australian tax payers have become an endless financial supply for all these bludging countries.
Although this is four years old, nothing will have changed, I imagine..its no doubt worse now.....
Yep...throw it away parasites...throw it away.......

We are a comparatively rich country. Foreign aid shows that we care for other nations and their people. It also ensures that there are fewer refugees and so for the Xenophobes, fewer Asylum Seekers. However, Xenophobes are subject to what Howard called "the politics of jealousy." They are jealous that other people being given money, doesn't matter what the circumstance is or was, they're just jealous. Australia pays less foreign aid per capita than most other developed nations.

We shouldn't be paying out borrowed money.
