A meme on social media today has today proven what many across the country already knew to be true.
The meme, now shared over 5,000 times on Facebook, and riddled with grammatical errors, has proven that the countries Foreign Aid contribution is directly responsible for the plight of farmers.
The piece of content has blown coverage around the issue out of the water, as experts have been confronted with a harsh reality.
For years previously, the debate around Government drought policy had been complex and convoluted with a raft of issues and problems discussed.
Things like climate change, sustainable farming, failing government assistance and policy in rural and regional areas were all believed to be part of the reason why a successful solution to the persistent problem of drought couldn’t be found.
However, today, the policymakers are coming to terms with the fact that sending money overseas is solely to blame for farmers doing it tough across the state and the country.
Malcolm Turnbull confirmed that in the wake of the weekend’s by-election, he is now holding urgent talks with his cabinet to cease all foreign aid packages in order to solve the drought crisis and win some votes.
Curtis Townsend (34) a local man who shared the groundbreaking meme spoke to The Advocate today.
“We’ve gotta look after our own first. Plain and simple,” explained the man who’s Facebook activism is very akin to the inner city leftie’s who he so despises.
“People can go on about drought policy and sustainable farming all they fucking want, but at the end of the day, the fact of the matter is that Foreign Aid is to blame, and the Government needs to give that money to the farmers,” said the man who also shares a minimum of one meme a week about anyone receiving government benefits being a bludger.
