Tents vs. Space Programs

I seemed to have upset my colleagues when I questioned why more than half a million dollars was being spent on a grant exploring “Indigenous connections to outer space” and whether Aboriginal people “cared for other planets.” How do such projects help Australians who are living in tents, skipping meals, or struggling to pay rent? While people are hurting, the Labor government is spending $1 billion a year on grants like this. Taxpayers deserve to know why. — February | Senate Estimates Transcript: https://www.malcolmrobertsqld.com.au/tents-vs-space-programs/
