Government Spending Priorities - Where your hard earned tax dollars are going to.

If you happened to notice the front page of the national newspaper today, you would have seen the new jet Air Nuigini brought into the country which is going to be leased by the National Government to ferry the selected few on government business.

Well, last week we read about the budjet break up and i noticed that health on a whole had recieved a substantial amount broken up between the health department, hospital spending, etc. Although i am glad the funding has improved, i noted with some trepidation that the budjet was done with an estimated cash flow from the LNG project included in in.. It remains to be seen whether the health department will recieve the total intended budjet.

Amazing how the government saw fit to hire a jet, spending millions of kina on a small minority while the rest of the nation has to rely on a budjet that includes a project that has not fully kicked off the ground.. I am not an economist but i would suggest we not count our chickens before they have hatched..

Something to think about...
