And I'd like you to bear in mind that a lot of that happened under good godly hypocrite Scott Morrison.The World Bank has just released for 2021 the total aid flows from 28 wealthy donor nations to all recipient countries and regions. This voluminous dataset on what it calls ‘net bilateral aid flows’ enables minute dissection of overseas aid.
The focus of this analysis is the period from 2012, the last full year of the reformist Rudd and Gillard Labor Government, to 2021, the last of the Coalition’s nine years in office.
In 2012, Australia’s total disbursements were a satisfactory USD $4,549 million (AUD $6,908 million). That was up from just USD $1,813 million (AUD $2,753 million) in 2006, the year before Labor came to office.
This allocation then diminished progressively through the subsequent Coalition years, falling to a low of in USD $2,246 million (AUD $3,411 million) in 2019 before being partially restored.
Australia’s total aid contributions in 2021 were USD $3,089 million (AUD $4,691 million), a reduction since 2012 of 32.1%, among the worst in the world.
More shameful still, the heaviest cuts were to the poorest of the poor.
You can tell his bible from all the others: there are a bunch of blacked-out verses in Matthew 25:
Scummo obviously rejects the premise that Jeebus ever said that.“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”
