after the country pleaded for support to help address the crippling shortages of everyday essentials.
"Our support will be delivered through UN agencies to provide food, health and nutrition services, access to safe water and essential support for those at risk, including women and children," the joint statement said. Australia is also providing Sri Lanka with $23 million in ongoing development assistance in 2022-23.
Jeez Albo …. I’d hang onto that $25m for the time being; Australians also in need. Australians. Remember them
Hang on guys Albo and team are giving you cheaper EV’s ! Whats 25 mil 😜
Wasn’t the $50,00,000 enough for the prez & PM to buy their Mayfair palaces AND the yacht when the deserted the country?
Printing and spending the Aussie dollar into oblivion.
Oh, and why has Sri Lanka got “urgent food and healthcare needs”? Anything to do with misguided ESG policies resulting in a severe drop in food production? 🤔
So that is $75MILLION to Sri Lanka. What do the independents think of that zalisteggall steele4hughes Mon4Kooyong zdaniel when Australians are waiting in a corridor for 27 hours for chemo to save their lives. Thought you were independents in Parliament!! teals noaccount
That’s at least 50 homes for Australian families struggling to get a place to rent
Has he visited Victoria?
What about us here in Australia 🇦🇺🤬🤬🤬🤬
More money in someone’s pocket like Wongs last lot . More sensible to help them with less corruption would have been a ship load of wheat grown by Australian farmers . Money should never be sent to any third world country as it disappears
Albanese is our very own Joe Biden. He’s destroying us from the inside.
Let CCP spend money who made this country like this. We need think about Aussie first! Very bad inflation, many Aussies are suffering now.
You have to break the old system before you can bring in a new one... NWO is coming.
It has to happen soon 😔
先申明，我没投票给他，再见👋
are they not bankrupt
More public money laundering 🤦♂️
Paid with the $275 power bill reduction that is not happening
Bribes so they'll stop the boats leaving for here after he granted illegals residency instead of deporting them.
Meanwhile Aus families are becoming homeless welcome to default Albanese 3rd world country in the making
Let’s worry about are own country first .
Oh that’s to attempt to counter the destruction caused by a woke green agenda in Sri Lanka going horrendously wrong, the first of many around the world for certain.
Where did the original $50M go AlboMP ?
Problem entirely caused by Sri Lankan government pandering to ‘green’ madness. No lessons learned. 🙄
How can governments keep offering humanitarian aid when they don’t have the money to do so. We are trillions in debt. They just keep printing money which will cause more inflation. There seems to be a lot of transferring of money world wide lately. ….
More of Australia’s taxpayer’s money going to Sri Lanka then straight into the bank accounts of the President in Exile. We owe Sri Lanka nothing.
And the debt bill rises already! Labor, giving away other people’s money since 1891!
More hard earned tax payer money sent offshore.
The money won’t come to Sri Lanka people! Will comes to CCP’s pocket! And Sri Lanka already bankrupt ,25million just waste! Why not use for Aussie! We have to face high cost of life!
Well, that’s good.
And just where is that money coming from? I thought we were a trillion dollars in debt.
Complete crap, it was corruptly used and we all know it.... God I pray for the day when the people realise those who perpetrate this corruption and those who cover it up with media are held to account by the people. Cant cry about spilt milk then now can you!
Presume the Biloela family have sent money…our money of course
Dont we have our own urgent food and health care issues to resolve first? albomp auspol
What a joke.
Only?
What about the Australian cost of living. No Australian should have to chose between warmth & food Why are their more homeless in Australia than ever before?
Sounds like a great money laundering program. Like all foreign aid into the hands of corrupt politicians in Sri Lanka or back to Australia.
Why is it the Albanese Government providing the aid not the Australian Government?
What guarantees does Australia have that what you call the 'extra money' won't go towards repaying $10 billion in debts to China? China has already taken a 99 year lease over the port of Hambantota to 'help' Sri Lanka with its Chinese debt burden. auspoll
So $25 million aid to the country but treat their people who try to escape as criminals. Announce a boat on Election Day as a threat to this country. We really have been taken for fools by the previous government.
How exactly ?
Socialism is great until you run out of other peoples money.
