Why were no Jewish groups contacted and invited to apply? The process seems to go to great lengths to hand money to someone-anyone. Associations with questionable reputations were “contacted” and offered large sums of money toward vague goals of “social cohesion.” Statements made by some of their leaders display qualities unbecoming of an Australian. What is it if not a reward for bad behavior? Come out in large numbers, disrupt traffic, carry a foreign flag, scream abuse, plaster your bills everywhere, and get rewarded by the government.

Asolutely unbelievable ! Why can’t this minister answer a single question ? He says that he’s going to do some due diligence on why these groups were given taxpayers dollars, I would have thought that would be done before granting money to them. Worst government in my lifetime by far.
Cancel the social cohesion grants. Labour Party are disgraceful and un-Australian. Stop funding radical terrorist supporters. Stop wasting Australian Taxpayers funds.
I suspect that there’s many grants across ALL portfolios that need canceling. Grants for university studies into breakdancing, climate studies, MRna vaccine factories, solar panel manufacturing…..just off the top of my head.
@@daniellemoebus9346 Good points. I had already forgotten about the breakdancing PhD genius. Just confirms what a lot of us suspected. As you said, I'm sure there are many more wasteful grants.
22 million dollars. Do other minorities get 3.84 million, projects? Fostering integration grants, 4 million for another independent body? Community cohesion group. Social policy group grants. Total 16.4 million plus another 5.6 million. Arabs, Palestinians and Muslims.
Condemning on one hand and giving hard working Aussie tax money with the other to these organisations is absolutely aborant and all grants should be stopped until Aussie families are looking after. Just sick 🤮🤮🤮🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Without Senator Paterson, Burke Wong and Albanese would give billions to the anti Israeli forces. Watt. You are a disgrace. Senator Patersons questions were clear and concise. You gaslight by talking about Scott Morrison which had no relevance to the person who senator Patersons was referring to. God help us. Wong and Albanese back stabbed Israel immediately on election. Gaslighters like watt and his bureaucrats continue with the anti Israel push by giving tax payers money to people who had out of body experiences of joy after the demonic evilness of Hamas on October 7. Watt Burke and the bureaucrats need to watch the 43 minutes of video of the demonic evilness of Hamas beheading torturing raping men women children and babies. For God sake where is the lefts morality???
Time to stop paying taxes until the government start listening to taxpayers. Snouts in troughs and hands in the taxpayers till, need to be weeded out. This money should have been used for at risk Aussies doing it tough, not trivial shit like this.
Social cohesion is NOT supporting ‘their’ own community. I am sick of government departments use of the word communities. Australia has only one community.
I feel ill watching this. They had to work quickly, yet it has taken a year for my mother to have an application for home assistance processed. She as,o had to have hip surgery, and thankfully, didn’t have to rely on our public health system, because she would have been waiting forever. My mother has paid taxes her entire life (with the exception of a handful of years during which she raised her children). Apparently, there is no sense of urgency to assist our aged pensioners such as my parents, who have never relied on government handouts. This ad hoc finding consisted, in part it seems, is allocated by the “community” telling the government who to give assistance to, or even in accordance with the government contacting them and offering MORE money. “Social cohesion” my posterior! While I sympathise with Palestinians, I’m sickened by those who have been given government grants. Your work is outstanding, James.
Imagine what this country could do for Aussies if we weren't busy throwing money at FOREIGNERS

When I first watched it went over my head but watching it recently it fits the nail on the head like it’s so true .
@@cpater5397I'm getting the feeling that South Park was prophetic
Keep pushing senator ! We have Aussie families living on the streets ☹️and our politicians are shoving money to foreigners that are never going to work for Australia and most probably they are supporting people in the country they come from .
This is disgusting
Asolutely unbelievable ! Why can’t this minister answer a single question ? He says that he’s going to do some due diligence
on why these groups were given taxpayers dollars, I would have thought that would be done before granting money to them.
Worst government in my lifetime by far.
Cancel the social cohesion grants. Labour Party are disgraceful and un-Australian. Stop funding radical terrorist supporters. Stop wasting Australian Taxpayers funds.
Well said John
I suspect that there’s many grants across ALL portfolios that need canceling. Grants for university studies into breakdancing, climate studies, MRna vaccine factories, solar panel manufacturing…..just off the top of my head.
@@daniellemoebus9346 Good points. I had already forgotten about the breakdancing PhD genius. Just confirms what a lot of us suspected. As you said, I'm sure there are many more wasteful grants.
Just stop. 😅
They forgot to mention the millions "Jewish" groups received to improve and upgrade their security systems - massive fences, armed security, etc.
Thank you Senator, we are getting a clearer view as to who to vote for.
No trust left for our government. Rorts, rorts and more rorts..
22 million dollars. Do other minorities get 3.84 million, projects?
Fostering integration grants, 4 million for another independent body? Community cohesion group. Social policy group grants.
Total 16.4 million plus another 5.6 million. Arabs, Palestinians and Muslims.
Condemning on one hand and giving hard working Aussie tax money with the other to these organisations is absolutely aborant and all grants should be stopped until Aussie families are looking after. Just sick 🤮🤮🤮🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I'm ashamed, alarmed and fed up with how our money is being used by Govt
Every dollar should be redirected and given to our homeless, our veterans, education sector and aged care
Many thanks to Senator Paterson for your common sense approach to tackling the swamp in Australian federal politics
Great job senator.
Without Senator Paterson, Burke Wong and Albanese would give billions to the anti Israeli forces. Watt. You are a disgrace. Senator Patersons questions were clear and concise. You gaslight by talking about Scott Morrison which had no relevance to the person who senator Patersons was referring to. God help us. Wong and Albanese back stabbed Israel immediately on election. Gaslighters like watt and his bureaucrats continue with the anti Israel push by giving tax payers money to people who had out of body experiences of joy after the demonic evilness of Hamas on October 7. Watt Burke and the bureaucrats need to watch the 43 minutes of video of the demonic evilness of Hamas beheading torturing raping men women children and babies. For God sake where is the lefts morality???
ALL THIS MONEY SHOULD GO TOWARDS VETERAN CARE….
Legend James. Looking forward to you leading us in the future.
Time to stop paying taxes until the government start listening to taxpayers. Snouts in troughs and hands in the taxpayers till, need to be weeded out. This money should have been used for at risk Aussies doing it tough, not trivial shit like this.
Social cohesion is NOT supporting ‘their’ own community. I am sick of government departments use of the word communities. Australia has only one community.
Sounds like this department needs an overhaul from top to bottom.
I feel ill watching this.
They had to work quickly, yet it has taken a year for my mother to have an application for home assistance processed. She as,o had to have hip surgery, and thankfully, didn’t have to rely on our public health system, because she would have been waiting forever.
My mother has paid taxes her entire life (with the exception of a handful of years during which she raised her children).
Apparently, there is no sense of urgency to assist our aged pensioners such as my parents, who have never relied on government handouts.
This ad hoc finding consisted, in part it seems, is allocated by the “community” telling the government who to give assistance to, or even in accordance with the government contacting them and offering MORE money.
“Social cohesion” my posterior!
While I sympathise with Palestinians, I’m sickened by those who have been given government grants.
Your work is outstanding, James.
I'm so sorry about your mum. I hope that she is recovering well
