Agree

Decrease, until we drastically reduce our national budget deficit

The Nationals have generally supported the Coalition's policies of fiscal responsibility, which includes reducing the budget deficit. They may therefore support reducing foreign aid as part of these efforts, as evidenced by their support for the 2014 budget cuts to foreign aid.

Agree

Decrease

Agree

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

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