Quotes attributable to Mat Tinkler, CEO of Save the Children Australia, on behalf of the Safer World for All campaign:
“This election, Safer World for All is calling on all candidates to commit to supporting Australian Aid.”
“Currently at 0.68%, 1% of the federal budget would be a restoration to previous levels that is moderate but will make a huge difference.”
“Today, our world is facing unprecedented challenges. But, it presents an opportunity for Australia to step up as a friend, a neighbour, and a champion of development.”
