"Lapdog, there is a blatant untruth in your post. The rate of increase of overseas aid is slowed, that is all. Forget the spin stay with the facts. "

Please take the time to read these articles, then explain how my earlier post was a blatant untruth:

Joe Hockey:

"... "And so we are reducing the growth in foreign aid by $4.5 billion over the forward estimates ..." ..."

DFAT Spokeswoman:

"... "AusAID was recruiting to manage an $8 billion aid program," she said.

"With the program now reduced to $5 billion, it would not be responsible to proceed with the recruitment of additional staff." ..."

Not only was the 'rate of increase slowed' it was reversed and knee-capped!
