A Current Affair and their tabloid sister Today Tonight must be over bashing Muslims this week. In the wake of the terrible tragedy in Japan, where thousands of people have lost their lives and many more are injured and homeless, ACA are asking this thoughtful and considerate question as a viewer poll:
"Should Australia focus its resources on Queensland before sending aid to Japan?"
That's right, while tens of thousands are left waiting for assistance and the search for survivors continues, lets do our best to drum up more xenophobic nonsense. Its a new take on the foreign aid debate.
Not surprisingly, 78% of people think we should support Queensland first. What, we cant do both?
Was the same question asked when Christchurch suffered an earthquake only weeks ago? Worth remembering that Japan sent teams of support to New Zealand for that disaster.
Don't worry, they wont be on this issue for long. Back to the Hey Dad saga for some more vilification.
About Just Grumpy
Thats not to say that we shouldnt help those who cant help themselves. I have a firm belief in giving a helping hand up to those who genuinely need it. (please give generously to my linked charities)
I call myself a realist and i want to tell it like it is. Somebody has to speak the truth. Because seriously, what a selfish bunch of insular tools we have become in today's dreamy Australia.
Maybe we arent so different to the rest of the world. And maybe it was always this way.
Anyway, until things change, i remain young and grumpy.
