Our government recently pledged 900 million dollars keeping refugees from another country happy fed and cashed up. But if you speak out against it the "Left Wing" call you a racist or a bigot. For wanting to help your own countrymen first.

Not to mention the MILLION dollar Fireworks displays put on around the country by government bodies.
Meanwhile farmers in parts of Queensland, which has endured three long years of drought and hardship as many have emptied their bank accounts trying to keep stock alive.
Instigator of the charity hay run, Brendan Farrell, fourth-generation farmer, who has spent four-and-a-half months, “a lot of money on the phone, a lot of nights on the phone, emails, permits, I can't even think of all the time”, with many saying he was deserving of Australian of the Year status. I have to agree and pretty sure lots of others will too.
What legend. Caring more for fellow Aussies than their own government. Would love to know what, if any, contributions have been made to this effort by government bodies.

Still think Brendan Farrell is a legend for his efforts here. If the government don't give him The Australian of the Year title, there are plenty of farmers who will.
