COULD someone please tell me why our always-out-of-the-country Prime Minister is giving the Chinese Government $15 million of Australian taxpayers’ money, especially now when they have just spent $40 billion on the Olympic Games.

We all feel very sorry for the poor people of China who were in the earthquake area, but with our hospitals, police, schools, ambulance in such dire trouble — isn’t it time for the taxpayers of Australia to stand up and say enough is enough, spend our money on fixing up Australia.
