How much of Australian Taxes are spend on direct Government support for the Aboriginal Industry?
It is running up to $39.5 billion of direct government expenditure a year
That is more than we spend on the NDIS ($35.5 billion), Medicare ($31.3 billion) or Defence ($38 billion).
It’s about the same as the Federal Government’s entire spend on Schools and Universities ($39.7 billion).
That doesn’t even include the EXTRA $424 million announced by Albo on Monday to “close the gap” (yes, an extra $1.2 million a day!).
Well, Australians are a generous and compassionate lot, but this is getting ridiculously out of hand.
But despite the outlay of this enormous amount of real money, there has been almost no discernible improvement in the lives of Indigenous Australians.
The gap just isn’t closing.
In fact, if the NDIS or Medicare were delivering outcomes as bad as this $100 million a day, there would be a Royal Commission.
It would be a global scandal.
But every day we do spend this $100 million and instead of demanding to know why Aboriginal descendent Australians are still so far behind, Anthony Albanese and a group of high-profile activists want to rip up our Constitution to accommodate a dangerous and divisive ‘Voice to Parliament’.
It’s so bad, it’s breathtaking.
This is why tens of thousands of Australians have already joined ADVANCE’s Fair Australia campaign by pledging to vote NO in the referendum .
This is why Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price is leading the fight against the dangerous and divisive Voice.
And its why Fair Australia flew New Zealand equality campaigner Casey Costello from Hobson’s Pledge to Canberra to warn your politicians about the true cost of the Voice.
New Zealand’s version of the Voice has been an absolute disaster.
According to Casey, instead of a “voice”, New Zealanders copped “a self-appointed, elitist minority advocating that they speak for all Maori”, which has just made things worse for the people it was set up to help.
Sound familiar?
The PM should be explaining to you why the billions of dollars spent on direct support for Aboriginal descendent Australians is wasted before he throws good money after bad on a Voice referendum.
Albo needs to be straight with the Australian people and tell us how much is too much.
Because if $100 million a day isn’t enough, how much is?
