in Australia, when we pay taxes, we get a receipt. The receipt shows what our taxes were spent on

I assume "Other purposes" is govt kickbacks to mining and gas companies 😬
Most in Australia don't read where the money goes. Taxes aren't too bad (IMO) and the system is so easy that once you submit you don't really go back to see where it went. Or maybe I live in a bubble.
