And call it bribe or foreign aid its is needed.
So we should pour more money into a (as you've correctly stated) corrupt system instead of saying enough and putting that money into things such as the manufacturing industry that we used to have or into the people of this country.
And yes I read the link but how many of the exporters that are profitting are actually Australian companies and how much of that $7 odd actually go in our coffers ??
I understand that under the current system we have little choice but I reckon the system needs to change.
