Civic Audit · Australia
Audit the foreign aid. Fund the homes.
Every year the Commonwealth ships billions offshore under the ODA banner while a generation of Australians can't afford rent, let alone a mortgage. This site itemises the spend, flags the questionable line items, and models what the same money would do at home.
The audit
Every DFAT investment pulled live from the IATI Datastore, algorithmically flagged for consultancy loading, vague governance scope and mega-project risk.

The pressure

Editorial position
Foreign aid is a legitimate instrument of statecraft — but a $4.96bn envelope deserves the same forensic scrutiny we apply to Centrelink recipients. When citizens sleep in cars and pensioners choose between food and rent, the burden of proof sits with every offshore dollar.
