My only condition regarding aid would be that it is not in money, it should only be in tools, portable homes, water filtration, medical equipment & other practical commodities but definitely not money !
The money would be better used to employ people in the manufacture of aid goods here !
400 million to some Nation is dead money for Australians. Manufacturing aid goods here to that amount would provide quite a lot of employment for Australians !

might be just a few people realising how well people had it with British settlement if the Chinese communist party spread much further. Hmm!

Why not let those who fork out the Taxes stipulate how & where aid should be distributed ?

Individual,

you sound like Andrew Carnegie. he had similar ideas about the rich knowing where money should be spent.

In terms of Western liberal democracies, they all said get ...... to such attitudes.

i don't think such ideas will be coming to fruition any time soon, here or in poorer Pacific nations.

But, don't despair Individual. if anyone was to take up such ideas, it will probably be the ...hole elites in authoritarian China

Just got this email a minute ago, anyone know if it is true or a hoax ?

WHY WHY WHY??

Everyone to whom I have BCC’d this message – ask your local member this question. After what we are going through?? Really??


The first flight to Sydney in over two months from China’s “coronavirus capital” Wuhan, is due to land in Australia tonight.

The cargo flight operated by China’s Suparna Airlines, will be unloaded in a special freight apron area of Sydney Airport.

It is not clear what the Boeing 747-freighter is carrying, after yesterday completing a trip to Shanghai.


A spokeswoman for the Department of Home Affairs would not provide details of the cargo but said they were aware of the flight arriving from Wuha

the rich knowing where money should be spent.
Chris Lewis,
Do you really think that's what I said & meant ??
