How can the Australian Federal Government
approve $258 million for climate and clean energy projects in India while so many everyday Australians are struggling with the cost of living?
Families, farmers, and small businesses are under immense pressure. Pensioners are finding it harder to get by, homelessness is at record levels in many areas, and people with disabilities often struggle to access the support they need. Yet time and again, it seems thereβs no money available for critical domestic priorities .. until funds magically appear for overseas commitments.
This latest $258 million facility through Export Finance Australia, directed to Indiaβs Power Finance Corporation, has left many Australians asking: why are overseas climate projects being prioritised when our own citizens and industries are hurting?
Australians expect their government to put its own people first. Strong domestic support for those doing it tough should not be an afterthought. Itβs time for a serious rethink of spending priorities before public trust is completely eroded.
