It is not being suggested that Australia should send troops to attack Russia.
That would not only cause hundreds of Australian casualties, it would
also put Australia as a nation at risk as Russia would see
us at a threat. We've done lots, but we can do more.
We have sent 85 million AUD worth of humanitarian aid to Ukraine to
support the constituents' health, housing and economic recovery aid. 85
million AUD sounds like a lot, but in reality, it could only afford around
1,000 houses in Ukraine.
This doesn't even include medicine or economic support. Furthermore,
the statistics elucidate that the number of civilian casualties is greater
than the number of houses that all the humanitarian aid that Australia
has sent to Ukraine could afford. We can definitely do better.
Unless developing roads and building towers for Donald Trump is more
important than the lives of innocent Ukrainians.
