Julia Gillard and the Australian Labor party should hang their heads in shame for the offer of $1 million dollars to Queensland’s flood victims. With thousands of homes destroyed and crops in ruin it must be a real slap in the face for Queenslanders to be offered such a paltry sum.
Billions of dollars each year are sent offshore in foreign aid and government sponsored programs including 500 million for Indonesian schools, but very little has been put forward for this “once in 100 year” flood. This act only confirms what One Nation has been saying for some time now. Our politicians are more concerned about their image on the international stage then the welfare and livelihoods of Australian citizens.
Yes it is a global village and the world is a much smaller place due to technology but One Nation says charity must start at home and our government’s duty of care is with the Australian taxpayer not citizens from foreign shores.
