We’re paying just $600 a person on defence while our peers are forking out $839—that’s 28% less than we should be, and it’s leaving us exposed. The government acts like $810 is some kind of reckless splurge, but it’s the bare minimum to keep up with the rest of the world. Every cent below that isn’t savings, it’s gambling with our safety while other nations aren’t taking the same risk.
