The Coalition have just released their final budget costings. Joe Hockey said that a growth in foreign aid funding would be reduced by a whopping $4.5 billion help fund "essential infrastructure" in Australia. "We can only be a more generous nation to the rest of the world if we have a strong Australian economy. What we’re saying is we can’t continue to fund a massive increase in foreign aid at the expense of investment in the Australian to get the Australian economy to grow at trend and hopefully above trend growth,’’ he said. ‘‘So we have to cut the growth in foreign aid, to fund Australian infrastructure because the stronger the Australian economy, the more generous we can be in future.’’ Sound logic on behalf of the coalition, as ever. Happy voting folks!
