Jakarta 'saddened' by Foreign Aid Cuts - Micah

THE AUSTRALIAN // 18 February 2020

The head of Micah Australia, Tim Costello, who represents Christian non-profits, said Australia had walked away from its responsibilities to Southeast Asia. “I’ve said from the start the Pacific step-up should not come at the cost of stepping down elsewhere in the world but, sadly, it already has,” he said. “We are blessed to be a blessing, not just steal the crumbs from the table of the poor in Southeast Asia.This is not worthy of Australia.”
