Huge amounts of contractors who have made a mozza from the school sheds probably can't believe you can win the lottery twice in two years.

So what do we do runner? Just put disaster relief and community rebuilding aside, and let people cope by themselves? The Libs are already delaying the levy with an "enquiry" (they're putting political point scoring ahead of genuine disaster relief, in other words politics takes precedence over disaster victims). So maybe they can force an enquiry on your belief that rorts are inevitable. If the enquiry decides no rorts are likely maybe we could have an enquiry on the enquiry.

Isn`t it amazing how the mention of cutting back
on Foreign Aid makes everyone duck for cover!

This is a particularly sensative subject for all
thinking Australians, when at this time, we are
running so drastically short of "spare" money,
yet we can still find the money to build new
schools and improve the educational standards
of Indonesians students, (not that
our schools and students don`t need it?) but when
these recipients of our Foreign Aid are teaching
their pupils that Australia (South Irian Jaya)
really belongs to them, then it is time to draw
the line!

We have certain politicians, who, lets not lose
sight of the fact, are supposedly employees of
the people, are quite proudly it seems, selling
us out to the grandiose planners of the Globalist
New World Order, who are busy warming their bums
on the plush seats buried in the depths of the
UN Building.

Every time the UN barks the dogs start whining
for more money, and as a result we are about to be
graced with a visitation from a UN Delegation who
are coming to apply pressure to the Government
on a couple of issues regarding the allegedly
inhumane way in which we are treating the "poor"
boat-people ( aka Asylum Seekers,Financial and
Political Opportunists)

Crackcup, your belief that we are "running drastically short of spare money" and therefore should not spend money on overseas countries is utterly inaccurate.

Australia has more than enough funds to finance the disaster relief and rebuilding. The government has allocated 3.8 billion dollars in spending cuts to the disater relief, and the levy will contribute a further 1.8 billion dollars. Insurance companies will meet their insurance obligations, and already, every day, hundreds of claims are being paid. The Qld. disaster relief appeal is also growing by the millions with each passing day.

So from a financial perspective, Australia is coping magnificently with the disaster relief.

The rebuilding will give Aussies employment, provide much work for businesses and the economy will be booming by the year's end.

I'm sorry to spoil your day with a bit of accuracy crackcup.

courageous,
if you read my post again you'll find that I didn't say the monies don't need administering. I said don't let the same people get their hands on this again.

Runner The school halls or sheds as you say. I don,t know what you got where you live, but here the schools got what they needed.
Basket ball, badminton, and indoor tennis stadiums, were popular choices.
