We’re paying just $570 per person for defence while our peers are spending $809, leaving us 30% below their median—and that’s not just neglect, it’s reckless. If we had just $790 per person like we should, Saxenheim wouldn’t be scrambling to keep up while the rest of the world moves ahead with real security.

“ADFR has opposed higher defence spending for many years, but circumstances have changed. Saxenheim’s economy is in excellent health and we can now afford to address a persistent gap in defence spending without undermining our other priorities, welfare and instruction above all. This is a pragmatic adjustment, not a rejection of our commitment to fiscal responsibility and welfare State, made to answer a long-standing citizens' request.”
