Mr Dibbs, Julia Gillard’s first promise to the Premier`s flood appeal was definitely $1 million not as you stated $1 billion. At January 27, the total of the appeal was $170 million.
Why has the Gillard Government:
• Pledged $500 million to Indonesia for Islamic schools?
• Promised $160 million to Vietnam for a new bridge
• Offered $45 million to aid Indonesia for climate change
• Promised $20 million to aid Pakistan flood victims?
Governments do not have money, other than what they get from us through taxes and Julia is giving our money away overseas. How much money have these countries sent to our devastated states?
We have been asked to donate to the appeal.
Then a second request! Can we dig deeper?
Now a tax from Julia for 12 months, plus a carbon tax coming this year.
Food prices have already started to increase.
The devastated flood victims must be helped, but we must all do our bit; however there is a bottom to everyone’s barrel.
Mr Oakeshott are you going to vote for yet another tax?
Interesting!!.
