... where is your aid money going?
Australia’s aid spending of approximately $4.3 billion for 2010-11 currently sits at 0.33% of the Gross National Income (GNI).[1]
Whilst both the major political parties have made a commitment to increase the aid budget to 0.5% of GNI by 2015, this still falls short of the internationally agreed target of 0.7%.
