Hello all, I have noticed, among the regular contributors to Balipod, a definite theme of Aussie-bashing. True, I have seen and been embarrassed by drunken groups of yobbos in Kuta. But, living in Jayapura for 7 months, I felt like I was the only westerner in Papua.
Back to the reason for this post. During the fiscal year, 2014/15, RI topped the list of overseas recipients of Australian Aid at $627.6 million. But, probably due to Tuan Widodo's leadership, RI has slipped below PNG on the list of recipients.
For 2015/16 will only receive $375.7 million. A feather in Joko's cap?
FYI for the visa to Australia applicants. I complained about the huge discrepancy between Indonesian citizens and the rest of the world, in that RI citizens cannot apply for visas online. Australian Department of Immigration replied that they have re-assessed the list and RI citizens will be added to it.
Amen.
