Australian foreign aid in the pacific should be much higher, as a wealthy and sizeable nation, we should be taking care of 'the little guys' that often fall victim to epidemics such as obesity, natural disaster and

It depends, maybe increase but make sure we have a lot of money still but if they really need help then help them and maybe get more people to help them too.

 @9JR2TMZLaboranswered…2mos2MO

increase, yes only if our country economy is capable to supply and our country will not be effected economically

 @9JPP866answered…2mos2MO

We should analyse each country we are funding and decide if we need to increase or decrease individually

 @9JKG8RGanswered…2mos2MO

Continue aiding where it is possible, but stop funding the Ukrainian regime. We are not going to support the regime there any longer.

 @9HF5C4Canswered…4mos4MO

I think it depends under circumstances if the country is in war if we give aid to one side and not the other we could put ourselves at risk.

 @9GNGFRPanswered…5mos5MO

More information is required before making a decision, such as proportion of overall budget, how aid will be distributed, recipient criteria, how cuts would affect current recipients, proposal of new defence spending. .

We need to participate in funding to help where there is sudden crisis. I believe 75% our own backyard and 25% toward other countries in crisis. If every country did this it would work

Increase the amount of money going towards countries that really need it

 @96HTVY3answered…1yr1Y

Increase, but only for countries that have no human rights violation, are a victim of a war and deny aid to countries that harbour or promote terrorism.

Help other countries who have supported us or other countries in need

 @93Y3BRYOne Nationanswered…2yrs2Y

Only for counties with that that need human rights attention, despite their government.

 @93H84R7answered…2yrs2Y

Redistribute funds to the people in countries, instead of directing to their government

 @93GJJHJanswered…2yrs2Y

Depends, if the country is in desperate need and no one is aiding it, then we should increase spending, but other than that, it doesn't seem necessary.

 @93D3ZHLanswered…2yrs2Y

Decrease, we should help our own country first before we help any other country.

 @939Y7HZanswered…2yrs2Y

foreign aid spending should depend on the needs of Australia at the time. if we need the money to put into bettering our country then it should be decreased.

 @939Y7CJanswered…2yrs2Y

Depends on the state of our own country, and also what the state of the country in question that we are providing aid to.

 @938425Qanswered…2yrs2Y

Increase, Trade with lots of different countries so a conflict with a trading partner won't cause as much harm to the economy as it would if you only had 1 or 2

 @93783ZCSocialist Allianceanswered…2yrs2Y

Increase Foreign Aid spending, and spend it actually creating resources owned and controlled by the people the aid is given to. Do not give foreign governments aid since this often gets lost in corruption.

 @935JK33answered…2yrs2Y

 @935CXH9Laboranswered…2yrs2Y

Decrease, we need to deal with providing aid to those in need within Australia

 @9355RJNanswered…2yrs2Y

We should aid countries that are in need and perhaps even increase spending in certain cases, and instea dof lowering it to those that promote terrorisim, instead aid the citizens suffering in those countries.

 @9352ZTNanswered…2yrs2Y

Increase, but only to countries that have a proven track record of using the foreign aid purely to truly aid the country the aid is sent to

 @934Z5Q4answered…2yrs2Y

Decrease - funding should go towards supporting hardships in own country, but go to lower socioeconomic countries when in serious crisis/war (have a set budget)

Increase but not to countries promoting terrorism and human rights violations

 @934R5VManswered…2yrs2Y
