Without a doubt some foreign aid shouldn't be sent abroad but just to clarify where/how the majority of aid is spent.

When the Govt says its increasing foreign aid to x country what it is actually doing is circumventing E.U. laws on subsidising our own industries. The money doesn't go to directly to the country it is earmarked for it goes to the company thats making the, e.g. turbines for the hydro electric project or the construction company thats building a hospital there.

The Daily Rags love to stoke the fires and say the Govt is sending money abroad when we should be spending it at home when in fact the Govt is actually spending a lot of that foreign aid money at home, albeit via the backdoor. Simples
