BILLIONS of dollars in overseas aid could be deferred as the Gillard government puts Wayne Swan's promised budget surplus next year ahead of an old election vow.
A $2.7 billion spending boost could be delayed and further outlays adjusted as Labor reconsiders its ambitious aid target, despite the prospect of a brawl with the Greens over the likely cuts. Senior government figures are pressing for delays to Kevin Rudd's 2007 election promise to meet UN foreign aid targets, amid doubts over whether it can spend money fast enough without wasting cash.

The only reason Australia is even giving overseas aid is as yet another plank in the socialist wealth distribution attack on our culture and economy. The UK can't afford to give aid, and has found there's no one to give it to... India? The bisto brigade have high tech projects and plenty of their own fiat currency to spend, so why bother? China? Question. Did Britain and Australia pay money to the Nazis? So why give money to China?
With an undefended border, billions in foreign aid can be spent right here in Australia, and will produce at least many worthless third worlders with entitlement issues as it would if we were spending money on overseas puppet governments. From the sounds of things in Sydney we're even managing to buy the same number of guns as we traditionally buy for third worlders overseas.

Muslim Ladies College of Australia school in Perth was found spending less than 50% of the time teaching English and Math, instead they spend 43% of the time teaching religious education. 43% of the time on religious study may be a little bit low in certain country, but certainly far too high in Australia.
The school was raided and forced shut down. The problem? The school spend not enough time on basic requirements, and employed unregistered teachers. They also over claimed Government subsidies and used taxpayers' money to Pakistan.

As if further proof is needed that the gillard regime is not only socialist but clinging to the outdated and utterly discredited creed of the mid nineteenth century, the era of the white man's burden and the patronising attitude that the coloured all need to have gold coins and sweets thrown at them- the foreign aid budget hand wringing is the proof redux.
The third world want to be treated equally. Cool bro, let's start by defunding them. Socialism is the only reason to give overseas aid. The UN has its own funds to distribute, leave it to the experts.
Election cannot come quick enough.
