Very strongly agree

Increase

The Australian Greens party has consistently advocated for increasing foreign aid spending. They believe in a more compassionate and generous approach to international development and humanitarian assistance. In their 2019 election platform, they committed to increasing foreign aid to 0.7% of Gross National Income, which is in line with the United Nations' target.

Agree

Increase, but only for countries that have no human rights violations

While the Greens party supports increasing foreign aid, they also have a strong focus on human rights. They may agree with the idea of prioritizing aid for countries with no human rights violations, but they would likely still advocate for providing assistance to countries in need, even if they have some human rights issues, as long as the aid is used effectively and responsibly.

Decrease, and deny aid to countries that harbour or promote terrorism

They would likely advocate for a more nuanced approach, focusing on addressing the root causes of terrorism and promoting peace and stability, rather than simply cutting off aid.
