Disadvantages
A number of groups believe that there are more disadvantages than advantages to giving aid.
Environmental, social and cultural disadvantages:
These have negative effects on the community. For example, the Bougainville Copper Mine and the OK Tedi Mine in Papua New Guinea are examples of when the aid programs have not taken into account the needs of the community. These developments have had a sigificant enviornmental impact, also affecting the health of and well-being of the community.
Economic disadvantages:
The Australian Government have been questioned by a number of NGO's for using the aid program to promote commercial interests of AUstralias companied that are not NGO's. NGO's are also worried the rich, urban dwellers will be receiving aid because of the promotion given, which will distort aid funds.
Geopolitical disadvantages:
Aids funds are able to encourage 'cultural dependence' between developed nations and nations that are developing. Australia is the Papua New Guinea's primary source (and one of the major sources) of income that comes into Papua New Guinea, representing around 80% of Papua New Guineas net annual budget.
