I understand the leftie thought patterns are controlled by polls.
"Polls suggested slashing foreign aid was the most widely supported measure of a generally unpopular budget - even among Greens voters."
Don't tell me you disagree with the polls ??? What a turn up that would be ? Or more likely, you just disagree with everything this government proposes.
How about keeping your petty politics out of it.
"Aid spending reached a low point in 2000 before the Howard government began to ramp up the program in its final years in office - an expansion that dramatically increased under the Rudd/Gillard governments."
"Both sides of politics had committed to a 50¢ out of every $100 target for aid spending until 2012 when Labor cut back on aid in a bid to achieve an overall budget surplus."
