AU$170 million spent on Ukraine, in just a month or so!!!!! Add up the figures,and marvel at the generosity of Scott Morrison and Josh Freidenberg on our behalf!
We’re in hock up to our ears, AUSTRALIAN CURRENT GOVERNMENT DEBT STANDS AT AU$1,500,000,000,000 ($1.5 TRILLION) and we’re BORROWING an extra couple of hundred million $$$ to finance a brawl between Ukraine and Russia?
If that doesn’t convince you that we’re treated as saps and are being fleeced nothing will!
