Is it just me or is there something a little wrong about John Howard’s priorities to his citizens?
We’ve just pledged $1b in aid to Indonesia following that terrible tsunami. One could be cynical and say a chunk of that was a calculated cost for better business relations, regardless, my taxes contributed to that generous pledge and I guess I should be pleased that it is going to a worthwhile cause.
Unfortunately I don’t feel so pleased now as I may be paying more for airfares following an announcement by the Government that there would be $200m of security upgrades at major airports and the cost may be recovered at least partially via a levy.
