Albanese Government Encourages PNG's Brightest Kids to Pursue Gender Studies
Imagine we wanted to do something to assist one of our poorer neighbours - say Papua New Guinea - to become stronger and more prosperous.
Here’s an idea with some merit.
What if Australian taxpayers paid for PNG’s brightest young people to come here and study?
Then they could return home and apply what they had learned, contributing to the strength, security and prosperity of their nation.
It’s a good idea, right?
And it’s exactly what we’ve been doing, through the annual PNG Australia Awards.
Every year PNG young people apply, through our Department of Foreign Affairs, for scholarships that cover their flights to Australia, their tuition costs, their living expenses and even their health care.
Key subjects are agriculture, education and medicine.
Obviously.
Or at least you’d think it would be obvious.
But the Albanese Government, in its infinite wisdom, is next year “strongly” encouraging PNG students to use these scholarships to pursue gender, disability and climate studies.
Agriculture, education and medicine are still available. But our government is urging PNG’s young people to pursue the wokier subjects.
It’s almost like our government believes PNG should have fewer doctors and fewer teachers and fewer farmers and a lot more unemployed activists.
I suppose it makes sense, if the people of PNG want to know what it’s really like to be a modern Western nation!
Our foreign aid is supposed to be helping our friends, not destroying them.
The stupidity of the Albanese Government never ceases to surprise me.
Unbelievable. My parents would be horrified - they spent 6 years of their lives teaching in the highlands of PNG. Teaching young people real subjects, which could help them get jobs, understand the world and advance their country. This is the beginning of the end. Albanese must not win the coming election!
The last thing PNG needs is that rubbish. We have been missionaries in the remote areas of the Louisiades, only reachable by boat. We were there for quite a few years. What we have seen since, are a number of young people who were little kids when we were there from 2001 to 2012, many of these young people have gone on to be agricultural scientists, another is a marine biologist, there are so many who have been able to go to Bible college in Port Moresby through the help of contributors. These people have great intelligence and so few have the opportunities to develop their potential. The last thing they need is learning how to turn others into homosexuals, or concern themselves about the rubbish of climate change, they know the weather better than we do and they don’t have the equipment we have, they don’t have to go to shops to buy food, they have gardens and fish in the sea. There are times, my husband and I would love to go back and live among the happy, poor of the Louisiades, no electricity, no running water etc. they do not need wokeness they, like us need Jesus
