    Default Fact or Fiction Oz boys, Oz contributes $88 million tax dollars to Hillary!

    "Of note, the Clinton Foundation received some $88 million from Australian taxpayers between 2006 and 2014, reaching its peak in 2012-2013 - which was coincidentally (we're sure) Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard's last year in office."

    AUSTRALIA has finally ceased pouring millions of dollars into accounts linked to Hillary Clinton’s charities.

    Which might make you wonder: Why were we donating to them in the first place?

    The federal government confirmed to news.com.au it has not renewed any of its partnerships with the scandal-plagued Clinton Foundation, effectively ending 10 years of taxpayer-funded contributions worth more than $88 million.

    "The Australian taxpayer shovelled at least $88 million into the Clinton Foundation and associated entities from 2006 to 2014, reaching a peak of $10.3 million in 2012-13, Gillard’s last year in office."

    seriously mate you need to go outside and look at the sun
    go for a walk and enjoy life take up a hobby.

    no one really gives a fk about clinton and trump the election is over
    both are fkn crooks .

    Every government around the world at one time or another have given funds
    to crooks either knowingly or UN-knowingly this is no different.

    every politician is a liar every politician only thinks of them selves and every
    politician is a crook and will screw the ordinary person to appease those who donate to them.

    as i said hilary who gives a fk trump who gives a fk the election is over they are both fkn crooks

    Well there you go, you found an answer to your question.

    Assuming of course you believe what's in the press and it's not 'fake news'.

    Probably no need for the thread to continue even, but I do agree... Australia shouldn't be contributing anything to American politicians.... any of them!

    I'm really getting tired of the Clinton/Trump crap you continue to start threads about, which is borderline trolling/baiting.

    You've been warned about it previously.

    According to that article the Centre-Right Abbott Govt put in an extra $140million to an associated entity at a time when the age of entitlement was supposedly over

    What associated entity?

    And what IS an associated entity? A mysterious f*cking non corporeal being that associates with politicians?
    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    Why are you so aggressive about this Member ?

    We all post things that others do not agree with.

    This post is about Australia's involvement in the Clinton Foundation and has nothing to do with the American Elections.

    This is something we, as Australians, should be demanding answers about.

    He lives in America and probably has no access to the Australian people's opinion on these donations.

    If you do not ask you will not know.

    Because he's like a broken record.

    So Australians donated to the Clinton foundation? Whack-o. Who cares really? I'm sure we donated to Trump at some point as well. So what?

    The Clinton foundation was/is allegedly there to help the needy.
    Obviously at the time of Gillard there would have been more support for the poor as our old Labor party have a history for doing that, even though most here hate that.
    So that was 8 million a year for some donations, that may or may not have reached those who needed it, so what. It is just publicity.

    Cmangle, you still haven't noticed that ALL polititicians are there to screw you and us all over, including your idol.
    They are ALL are only interested in taking from the middle class to feed the rich. Your Trumpie is no different. He takes from the poor, throws the middle clas some peanuts but gives his rich buddies and basically himself, millions in tax benefits with his reforms.

    Has he even disclosed his tax returns yet?

    Seems you've missed the point.... the thread is about Clinton and cmangle just loves to bash Clinton for whatever she's involved with.

    We get that she's a crook... they all are!

    Onefella pretty much nailed it.

    Most of us are just over hearing about Clinton... and the rest of them for that matter.

    As for moderating decisions... if it doesn't involve you directly, butt out.

    Whinging to admin won't help either, as per his post .

    So being over hearing about corruption is an acceptable reason to condone it.

    I do not need to agree with any poster here. I will either choose to comment or not.
    I have noticed that you have become extremely agro over recent times.

    As for moderating decisions, it involves every member here. So no butt out.
    The attitude of Moderators determines the viability of a Forum.

    I have stayed out of many arguments between Moderators and Members in the past.
    This time I felt the need to comment.
    Each post by a Member should be allowed to run its course, unless it breaks the rules.

    The reason this, and any other, Forum exists is to let people express their opinions. Otherwise they would not exist.

    I will butt out. You have changed my mind about becoming a Premium Member.

    I didnt know that Australia donated taxpayer dollars to first world countries - we waste enough money on third world countries !!
    Look , its common knowledge that charities and foundations are nothing more than a source of tax free money for those that set up or run them. "Kill"ary Clinton needed to pay for her daughters extravagant wedding somehow.. and you never see rich people spend their own money on anything do you ?

    Unless it's to become president. Trump spent $66.1 million of his own money according to filings.

    Reschs, if you think right-wing members are being treated unfairly on Austech, you are badly mistaken.

    That's right, and letting rabid conspiracy-theory crackpots from either the far-right, OR the far-left, prattle on about whatever dark ideas are churning in their heads at any given moment, will drive away the vast majority of moderate members.

    Has anybody looked at what 'Quid Pro Quo' arrangements there may have been in place to those 'Charity Donations'?
    We give a few squillions to 'Save the Uphill running Sap Sucker' in Outer God Knows where and in return the farmers/graziers get a leg in to a market generally blocked to importers.
    Nothing, absolutely NOTHING is done with Someone Somewhere without there being a 'Kickback' made.
    We cant sell Uranium to India but India wants it and are willing to pay for it and we need the money so 'Let's Do a Deal' shall we?
    On Monday we sell to a 'friendly' who sells what they have to another with ours replacing theirs and then 2nd sells to another who sell to a 3rd etc until it reaches India.
    We have NOT sold to India and of course we cannot dictate to another Country but they didnt sell to India either did they so all is well and happy in the World.....

    Interesting that there is no enquiry in the US into Australia's influence on the US elections given those scandalous donations.
