The Australian government continuously gives billions of dollars to other countries while Australians - are homeless, schools and hospitals are underfunded and pensioners struggle to feed themselves. The government has no right to give our hard earned money away, enough is enough. We are more than half a trillion dollars in debt! We are paying interest on the money our government is giving away.

This petition will be sent to the Australian government to introduce a law that stops current and future governments from handing out our money while Australia is in debt.

I read the comments left by people struggling to pay for groceries while this debt piles up and it breaks my heart. These signatures are proof that we know who should be coming first.

Seeing this grow so quickly confirms that I am not the only one frustrated by watching our taxpayer money leave the country while our own streets remain full of people struggling to survive. It is clear that Australians have reached a breaking point with this fiscal irresponsibility. We are finally building the pressure needed to demand that our leaders prioritize their own citizens first.

How about you look after pensioners and veterans before wasting our future on other countries

If you wish to donate to foreign causes, Bishop, use your own salary. Don't use mine and that of my kids.

Yes! When we have no debt and our homeless are looked after, then worry about other countries. Fix the problems at home first!

Charity begins at home! Stop frittering my hard earned cash away while you scrounge off our taxes and live the high life. Sick of al of you useless parasites.
