Why are Labor giving taxpayers money to the Taliban who don't let girls go to school and recently legalised slavery?
A worsening humanitarian crisis exacerbated by the Taliban’s rule has prompted a massive increase in Australia’s aid package to Afghanistan.
Australia is sending more than $50m in additional humanitarian support to Afghanistan, aiming to address the deteriorating situation exacerbated by the Taliban failing to meet basic human needs.
“The people of Afghanistan are enduring one of the world’s worst protracted humanitarian crises,” the federal government said in an announcement on Thursday.
Since the fall of Kabul in 2021, Australia has provided a total of $310 million to the people of Afghanistan.Minister of Foreign Affairs, Penny Wong says the nations extra support will have a strong focus on women and girls.
“The situation in Afghanistan is dire,” she said.
Ms Wong says the Australian Government remains firmly committed to supporting the people of Afghanistan, with reports of around 22 million people in Afghanistan in urgent need of humanitarian aid.
“In Afghanistan, women and girls are facing systematic and worsening restrictions on their access to education, healthcare, employment and public life. Ensuring humanitarian assistance reaches them safely and directly remains essential,” ACFID chief executive Matthew Maury said.

Labor are pissing away taxpayers money faster than a drunken sailor.
Why are we giving taxpayers money to Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan when they recently legalised slavery?
