ptbi: 2) Our economy is in excess of USD 1 trillion, foreign aid is less than 0.5% of our GDP whereby the largest provider is Japan and USA, not Australia. You can google AusAid website yourself if you want to know their programs.

Then why is Australia giving Aid to Indonesia if Indoneasia has a bigger economy than Australia?

Australia should cease all Aid to Indonesia immediately.

Or, Is it, that the Aid Australia gives is the Jizyah Tax that Australia is obligated to pay to Muslim Countries?

@JayB:

I think your opinion applies to how white Australians see Aborigines, ie animal-like and beneath contempt. We Indonesians are of much superior moral state than the white Aussies.

You are welcome to visit any of Indonesian-owned properties in Australia to find out about us.

@JayB:

We don't really care much about your aid, but your govt is quite keen in giving this money to us. Maybe they want to keep the goodwill of Indonesians to negate effects of poorly-informed haters like yourself.

Jayb,
I'm sorry but it sounds like too much of hard trying to destabilise.

ptbi" We Indonesians are of much superior moral state than the white Aussies.

Not from what I've seen.

Is that why Indonesia is the 5th. most corrupt Country in the World. It wasn't long ago when Australia threatened to reduce the Aid to Indonesia that there was a threat of not trading with Australia any more & breaking off Diplomatic Relations if we didn't continue to Pay the Jizyah Tax.

The Aid is a Jizyah Tax, isn't it?

Jayb,

Indonesian people are as intelligent and well-disposed as anybody else. So I can't believe that they would entertain such an unjust, backward and discriminatory notion as jizya, if Wikipedia is any guide:

" .... jizya was sanctioned by the Qur'an, the primary source of Islamic law[:]"

"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."
