“So far Albo giving away 100m to Ukraine whilst people here are struggling to make ends meet seems pretty stupid to me but im going to reserve my judgement until after the Budget is handed down. ”
History suggests that a wise person might take a little longer than a few months to decide how good or not that judgement is.
If you read a little history such as below, and then go and have a little research yourself on what happened during the fires in Victoria recently and the donations that came from France from this very location, you’ll find that generosity pays out and plays out over a long time.
Money in Australia at this time was not easy to come by either
“Australian soldiers and their families from Victoria decided soon after the war to build Villers-Bretonneux a school. Victorian school children were each urged to donate a penny and the Victorian Education Department handed over 12,000 pounds.
The Victoria School still stands and thrives in Villers-Bretonneux. Above every blackboard is the inscription "N'oublions jamais l'Australie" (let us never forget Australia).”
I suggest a visit to Villers-Bretonneux may well broaden ones views on life, generosity, and real friendship
