  • Shadow Infrastructure Minister Bridget McKenzie says Australia’s further aid to Ukraine is a “good thing” as the country needs to “support liberal democracies” which are under pressure.
    Australia will send a further $100 million worth of aid to Ukraine with $50 million going towards military assistance and the other $50 million being used for short-range air defence systems.
    “I think it’s a good thing,” Ms McKenzie told Sky News Australia.
    “We have to support liberal democracies that are under pressure across the globe.
    “We’ve seen that happening in Ukraine; we’re seeing that happen in Israel.
    “Wherever we can support, as a middle power, liberal democracies to stand against totalitarianism and terrorism, we need to be able to do that.”

    The Aussie economy is slowing towards a recession.
    Affordability amongst Aussies is plummeting with so many out there struggling with even basic groceries.
    Unemployment is continually rising with builders going bust, as well as major established companies.
    But what does Albo & Labor focus on instead?.
    Albo/Labor, instead of choosing to help Aussie constituents i.e. what they were voted in for, focuses Aussie taxpayer money on a corrupt Ukrainian regime which is losing the war so badly (a fight they had deliberately provoked back in 2014 with Russia which led to this entire cluster...) they are sending women & children to fight to inevitably perish, instead of seeking a peace deal with a massive nuclear superpower who it delusionaly believes it can defeat.
    We keep hearing "Russia is on the back foot", yeah um it is on the back foot but actually sending continual, devastating uppercuts to Ukraine that the viability of its future existence is seriously in question.
    Why is Labor/Albo wasting Aussie taxpayer money provoking WWIII, but then communist governments historically ignored the people, whilst they rarely took responsibility aka Chernobyl & our communist Labor government is sadly from the same historical bucket.
    I blame our delusional youth for voting Labor, as they have yet to realise it's they who will be slugged with the Greece & Italy style tax bills to cover up the corruption of Albo/Labor, Greens & teal independents who are all in on the scam.
    Vote Labor out Queensland, or Australia will soon end up a far worse version of Venezuela & like Ukraine is destroying it's future, these communist policies will destroy ours!
