We’ve been funding the entire world and they don’t even say thanks. Well kiss my ass you entitled dickhead.

The ministry of silly federal tit-sucking!

Fund your own God-damn “research”, Australia.

pull it out of your ass, dindus
F U kiwi.
^^^^ kiwi’s are from New Zealand
If your research has value, why isn’t it self-funding? I understand there’s no immediate value for new research but you guys have been at this awhile. Any worthwhile results yet?
you are NEVER entitled to other people’s money!
“guarantee Australian researchers would be protected”
Why?
Specifically – why?
What entitles foreign parasites to MY money?
I am an American taxpayer and I owe those parasitic maggots absolutely NOTHING.
