Increase

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

Disagree

Decrease, until we drastically reduce our national budget deficit

The Australian Labor Party is not likely to agree with decreasing foreign aid spending until the national budget deficit is drastically reduced. They believe that foreign aid is an important investment in global development and Australia's international standing, and they have not tied their foreign aid commitments to the national budget deficit.

Very strongly disagree

Decrease, and we should not give foreign aid to any countries
