Australia gives aid to Mozambique, now there is a laugh!!

Mozambique is an oil rich country that starves its own people and is one of the most corrupt countries in the World.

I wonder which corrupt politician/group get the most out of our aid?

Makes my happy to know just how much removed from reality some are remember ismise both sides give aid and often for no other reason than to buy influence ask China and Russia, America, even the Orange monster, Trump,I refuse to believe if you or any poster here had a starving child put in their arms and watched it die you too would not want to stop that

Belly,

Of course we would want to give it aid, but that's the whole point, the children are still starving in countries to which we give aid and people are being murdered in countries to which we give aid.
Mozambique is a prime example, murder is endemic, particularly over oil and the rich there get richer and the por get poorer.

We also give aid to Mexico, a country that is awash with crime and couldn't give a stuff about its poor and ailing and our aid makes not a jot of difference..

As a point of interest, Foreign Aid as a percentage of GNP reached an all time low under Howard and was high under Menzies but reached an all time high under Holt, Gorton etc. and Whitlam .
Its at a low point at the moment but the Abbott/ Turnbull era is not over yet.
