Tim Costello, brother of Treasurer Peter Costello, has attacked John Howard for lacking statemanship on Australia's record of overseas aid, which is among the least-generous of the world's 22 richest nations, despite the $1billion aid package for the Boxing Day tsunamis...Australia's tough stance on border protection and asylum-seekers, which has seen children born in detention and citizens wrongly deported, has gained the country international notoriety," Mr Costello said.
"But what is not as well-known is our pitiful performance in the funding of overseas aid. It is so bad we are at risk of becoming an international embarrassment."
