Dear Bill
this election result is distressing, for many reasons, not least Abbott’s decision to strip so much funding from Foreign aid. And to add insult to injury, the coalition refused to respond to ANY questions regarding Arts funding, which leaves a very bad taste in the mouths of every artist, writer, actor, and organisation who funds the arts, especially regionally. I imagine you must be wringing your hands right now. Just awful.
I never get more than 1/3 correct. Maybe I should stick to IT. Anyway, I’m worried about a JG/ELR program that doesn’t fund farming causing double-digit annual inflation in a developing country like my country Kenya.
