Commendably, Australia has responded quickly to the terrible flood disaster that has taken place in Nepal. The Australian Government has committed $8 million in direct financial aid, as well as dispatching two RAAF air transports with hygiene and other supplies. $2 million has been raised privately to assist with disaster relief. Almost 1,000 bodies have been recovered, with another 4,400 including 43 Australians still missing. P/S There are about 200,000 Nepal-born people live in Australia.

Australian Governments, both Labor and Coalition have always been to the forefront when it comes to disaster assistance to our neighbours and others. What does concern me is would a Pauline Hanson led government be so forthcoming and willing to assist our region with disaster relief, and other foreign aid. Which has been a bipartisan policy for many years.

8 million for a natural catastrophe of such magnitude in comparison to 27 million to the Imam society because they 'feel offended' ? Priorities can be perplexing alright !

certainly, be happy to spend some of the billions the climate cult grifters are wasting in order to give the people of Nepal real help. And wasn't it 500 million by Albo to divide the nation by race. Just think if they had an ounce of decency!

Hi Indy,

Australia spends money assisting all kinds of people. The Australian Government has allocated approximately $198 million in direct Commonwealth funding specifically to Jewish community organisations. YOU highlighted a payment to a Islamic organisation of $27 million, but didn't mention that substantially more is being paid to Jewish groups for such things as $32.5 million for security at Jewish schools and $31.2 Million for the Adass Israel Synagogue Restoration.

That's not the question here, according to Hanson, One Nation would cut foreign aid by 60%, probably completely, I doubt they would give any consideration to people affected by flooding in Nepal. These racists don't believe in helping "coloured" people. Australians need to know where this mob of dangerous reprobates stand on a whole range of issues.

'These racists don't believe in helping "coloured" people. Australians need to know where this mob of dangerous reprobates stand on a whole range of issues'

You really are a nasty god denier Paul. I suspect One Nation supporters have given more of their own money to Nepal. We know the filthy Greens/Labor virtue signallers are happy to pee taxpayer money against the wall.

Hi runner,

"I suspect One Nation supporters have given more of their own money to Nepal." The majority of the private money donated has come from the Australian Nepalese community, unlikely to be One nation supporters, since the Rednecked Redhead wants to kick them out of the country. The One Nation policy on foreign aid, as contradictory and garbled as it is, is to CUT FOREIGN AID BY 60%. I see no justification for such a spiteful and vindictive move, based on racism. Do YOU support that 60% cut?

"god denier" there is no evidence that a supernatural being, YOU call god (God), actually exists in reality. YOU want to believe without evidence, I choose not to believe without evidence. Believers, are no better or worse than non-believers, in my opinion. I haven't met many Christians I would consider overtly virtuous, they seem to be ordinary people. YOU come on here spruiking a great deal of hatefulness, is that something "good" Christians do?

I'd imagine that by now, millions will be spent towards designs of medals for the "heroes" when the helpers sent to Nepal will return !

'I see no justification for such a spiteful and vindictive move, based on racism. Do YOU support that 60% cut?'

I support ditching the climate fraud department, the billions given to climate cultist, the billions wasted on ngo's that are supposed to be helping the aboriginals, the billions wasted on fraudsters with the ndis etc etc. All this wastage and fraud is being paid by the taxpayer. I suspect also that much of our foreign aid is given to criminals in the UN. Personally, I don't know how much money gets through to those with needs, but I suspect not much. Bottom line is tax payers should determine what the Government does with their money does not dei slime balls with snouts in trough whose only qualification is virtue signalling.

Hi Indy,

Why be so sarcastic, people need help, just as victims of disasters in Australia need help. Those on here who TRUMPET One Nation, say nothing about humanitarian aid that Australia should provide.

people need help.
Paul1405,
Yes and, many don't get help when thy need it. Why does 'feeling offended' resulting from your own behaviour warrant multiple times more funding than losing one's home & family ? You sure a one deranged character ! Helping means helping, no strings attached, no grandstanding, just helping ! No underlying motive !

Paul1405,
Helping others has become a means for them to conquer us !

Hi Indy,

Where is your evidence that people we are helping in times of crises are planning to conquer us? I say YOU are being bigoted and racists. Like the Old Fart who on his morning walk, exchanges pleasantries with someone who is culturally different to himself, but at the some time wants all those ethnics, kicked out of the country, for no other reason than they are not of his culture. He is being as racists as YOU are.

I don't like the idea of giving out aid to foreigners whilst people in our own country are homeless or on hospital waiting lists.
But sometimes our assistance can make a genuine difference during an emergency and save lives in those times we should give assistance.

Can't we have all the nanna's cook up a big load of ANZAC biscuits or something?
Send them over a few casseroles maybe?

Hi AC,

Foreign aid is not a one way street, we expect something in return, like strategic influence, economic benefits, peaceful relations. Plus some of us are not heartless people.

"whilst people in our own country are homeless or on hospital waiting lists." A matter of priorities, should we give tax concessions to billionaires? Why are people homeless or on hospital waiting lists, its not as straight forward as a lack of money. If Hanson had her way there would be less skilled migrants coming to Australia, that means less doctors, so hospital waiting lists get longer, less houses are built, no enough skilled tradespeople. We should be careful for what we wish for, it can be counter productive if a simpleton like Hanson were in charge.

for no other reason than they are not of his culture
Paul1405,
Your own mentality supports "We shall enter every house etc etc" & they're the ONLY culture no-one wants. Not as you so deceivingly hint at not of one's own culture. Do you work for ABC/SBS ?

Simply posting the rants of a far right 'YouTuber', who makes claims from extremists like Credlin and the Mad Monk is not evidence of anything.

Hi Indy,

YOU have convinced yourself that hoards of Islamic terrorists are invading Australia. That's not the case at all, look at the immigration figures and where people come from. Its simply a figment of your perverted imagination, living in the far north of Queensland, having entered the age of senility, and being affected by the hot sun. Who knows what YOU imagine isolated from reality as you are.

BTW are you still racially vilifying people YOU don't like?

BTW are you still racially vilifying people YOU don't like?
Paul1405,
There you go again with your perverting of facts. It has already been made clear to you that it is not a matter of vilifying people one doesn't like. It's a matter of keeping people who openly are proposing to cause one's demise out of this Nation. I'm certain you'd be the last person to accept someone who openly threatens you, into your house ! Unless of course you can manipulate it into entrapment. What makes you think that those who promise to enter every house & give you the choice of being either a follower of that insidious groups or be a slave are not racists of the worst kind ? I think, you as a strong supporter & perhaps member, know the answer to that better than anyone ! It is clear from your posts that you're more than a mere sympathiser.

Well it suits my interests if the AfD wins in Germany tonight Indy.
Merz has an 85% disapproval rating, and it begins to fracture support for Ukraine and NATO within the EU if AfD wins.
Puts mass Muslim immigration on notice.

Austria is pushing back as well.

Hi Indy,

I never said I wanted people with incompatible criminal or violent political agendas entering Australia. No more than I want Australian born extremists with violent intent on the loose in the country, to commit atrocities like what occurred at Bondi.

What I don't agree with is stigmatising a group of people based on their religious and/or cultural beliefs, simply because they are "different" to myself.

Merz says ‘shock’ AfD victory in key German state ‘is an election result we cannot simply move past’
http://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/sep/07/germany-afd-saxony-anhalt-merz-greenland-ratko-mladic-europe-latest-news-updates

Merz concedes 'most severe election defeat' in 'years, or decades'

Merz begins by saying “we are all deeply shocked” by the result in Saxony-Anchalt.

“We did not expect it to turn out this way,” he says.

He says the vote “will have repercussions” and says even a glance at who congratulated the AfD shows “the level of international attention this result has garnered.”

He says that “when nearly 60% of voters … cast their ballots for political parties that fundamentally call into question our country’s democratic institutions … it is an election result we cannot simply move past as if nothing happened.”

He concedes this is “the most severe election defeat the CDU has suffered in years, indeed in decades.”

Merz says he will not deviate 'even a millimeter' from pro-Ukraine course despite support for pro-Russian parties

Merz also gets asked about Germany’s position on Russia and Ukraine given the high support for pro-Russian parties in Saxony-Anhalt.

'Giving up is not an option,' Merz says

In a more direct question, Merz gets asked at what point he would be prepared to accept his approach is failing and conclude that he can no longer serve as the chancellor.

CDU 'no longer has mandate to govern' in Saxony-Anhalt, outgoing premier concedes

Saxony-Anhalt’s outgoing premier Sven Schulze concedes the vote and says the party “no longer has a mandate to govern” and will be in the opposition.

“The mandate to govern now lies with the AfD,” he says.

He says the decisions on what’s next lie down with the elected members.

Well that went well.

don't agree with is stigmatising a group of people based on their religious and/or cultural beliefs
Paul1405,
That group is literally stigmatising itself in search of utterly undeserved sympathy as they clearly show by their rhetoric & actions ! Tell me, do they stop main street traffic in Arab countries for prayers ? And, do they bring people of different religions into Arab countries & house & feed them ?

Hi Indy,

I didn't mean to set YOU off into one of your raciest rages. Unlike YOU with your blatant racism saying; "That group is literally stigmatising itself", I don't stigmatise a whole group based on the actions of a few, that is pure racism. Its a fact YOU hold very racists views, based on peoples racial and cultural identity. Even us folk with Aboriginal blood, YOU stigmatise us!

I wouldn't lower myself to your level and answer your ridiculous questions. Haven't YOU got one of your favourite Hitler Mini-Me's doing a crazy war dance on Facebook or YouTube to post?

Paul1405,
Are you totally devoid of sense ? The actions of a few ?? You call the whole of Islam "a few" ??
I know you're not off your trolley in an intellectual sense but you certainly are derailed regarding mentality & ideology !

Anyhow, going back to what this thread is all about. Yes, Nepal deserves help from Australia simply due to to humanitarian reason alone. Nepal has been a highly popular destination for many Australians over the decades since cheap travel become standard.
I haven't heard of any Nepalese burring up about being offended by Australians to the tune of $66 million so, $8 Million is hardly a gesture in comparison & to the $500 Million for football in PNG !
ps. I can only go by the figures floating around in the Media so, if incorrect please correct me !
