Agree

Decrease

The Liberal Party has a history of decreasing foreign aid spending, as seen in the 2014 budget cuts under Tony Abbott's government. While they may not always advocate for further decreases, their past actions suggest they would be more likely to support this option.

Agree

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

The Liberal Party may support this option due to their focus on national security and counter-terrorism efforts. However, their primary focus has been on reducing overall foreign aid spending, so this option may not be their top priority.

Slightly agree

I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

While the Liberal Party has previously decreased foreign aid spending, they may be satisfied with the current levels if they believe it aligns with their policy priorities. However, their historical preference for cutting foreign aid makes this a less likely stance.

Neutral

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

The Liberal Party may find this option appealing due to their focus on human rights, but their history of cutting foreign aid spending suggests they would not necessarily prioritize increasing aid even with this condition. Their stance on this option would likely depend on the specific context and countries involved.

Disagree

Increase

The Australian Liberal Party has historically been more conservative on foreign aid spending. For example, in 2014, the Liberal government under Tony Abbott cut the foreign aid budget by $7.6 billion over five years. This suggests that they would not strongly support increasing foreign aid spending.

Strongly disagree

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

Although the Liberal Party has decreased foreign aid spending in the past, they have not advocated for completely eliminating foreign aid. This stance would be too extreme for their policy preferences.
