Foreign Aid Forum

9 November 2011, 3:16 pm

One of my passions in politics is getting foreign aid right. It’s an exciting time to be thinking about our overseas development assistance, with the government ramping up our aid contribution to 0.5% of GNI, and Australia having recently made major contributions to vaccinations through Gavi and the recent announcement of $50 million to eliminate polio.

To talk through some of these issues, I’m holding a foreign aid forum in Civic next Tuesday lunchtime. I hope you can make it.

Details, details…

Tuesday 15 November
Griffin Centre, Genge St
