Don't be tricked by the Government's spin: they can and must do more to #MakeTaxFair.

Over $170 billion is ripped from some of the world's poorest communities each year because the big companies are not contributing their fair share of tax.

This money should go to hospitals and schools, not corporate pockets. And we know that Australian-based multinationals are part of this problem.

What happened to Scott Morrison's belief in "compassion" and "justice"?

In his maiden speech to Parliament in 2008, Scott Morrison called for investment in Australian Aid to be increased. Yesterday, as Treasurer, he cut Australian Aid to a new record low.

There’s nothing compassionate about this. At a time when the world faces multiple humanitarian crises, cutting Australia’s tiny aid budget even further is cruel and deeply unfair.

This government has cut Australian Aid to a historic new low. Australia now spends just 22c in every $100 of national income on aid — well below the global goal of 70c.

The Federal Budget was a chance to act on rising inequality. It was a chance to champion fairness and to recommit to Australia being a good global citizen. But the government squandered this opportunity.

Our verdict? The Budget was a massive fail: http://bit.ly/2qQuutP

This government’s repeated cuts to Australian Aid already made it the least generous in our country’s history. But in the Federal Budget, they took us even lower.

Australian Aid is lifesaving and helps the world’s poorest people tackle poverty.

Share if you think the government’s cuts to aid are unfair.

Australia's aid budget was already at a historic low, and tonight the Turnbull Government has dealt another blow to Australian Aid by cutting a further $300 million from aid over the next four years.

Australian Aid is lifesaving and helps the world's poorest people tackle poverty. As the world grapples with multiple humanitarian crises, and as 30 million people face extreme hunger, we are extremely concerned about this Government's cruel cut to aid.

We are calling on the Government to show fairness and generosity and reverse these cuts: http://bit.ly/2qXxQbx

There are 1.3 billion people living in poverty around the world. Meanwhile, the Government is expected to cut Australian Aid again in tonight's budget.

Australian Aid saves lives and helps lift people out of poverty. Help us put pressure on the Turnbull Government to reverse this decision. Your voice matters. Let your MP know this cruel cut is unacceptable: http://budget.australianaid.org/

Cutting Australia’s already tiny aid budget — at a time when the world faces multiple humanitarian crises — would be staggering, and deeply unfair.

To what lengths will a loving mother go for their child?

Ida's daily routine is extraordinary: countless hours spent traipsing back and forth to the river for water, just so her children can drink.

However, by coming together we could provide a solution that would change Ida's life, and the lives of many mothers and their families in Zimbabwe.

We’re extremely alarmed by reports that the PM is planning to further gouge more than $450 million from the Australian Aid budget.

Australian Aid helps the world’s poorest people to tackle poverty. At a time when the world faces multiple humanitarian crises, this decision would be unconscionable.
