The ADF is more than just war. They also do humanitarian and relief work. Besides, don't you want this country to be properly defended?

The Greens defence budget is whatever the price of some whites sheets and flag poles is, just be thankful they haven't declared a war on stupidity yet otherwise you would be in an internment camp right now.

And what is more important that the security of ones country; without that, you have nothing, you dill.

We spend fkkk all in comparison to our neighbours on defence, if you want to find out who your enemies are, let them have the power to invade you.

Just ask East Timor and West Papua, what it is like to be invaded because your 'powerful friend' is nothing more than a gutless coward (yes Australia) with no desire to protect the weak and vulnerable from scumbag indonesians.

Angry

That's true.

$3 Billion a year for defense..... compared to $12 Billion a year in interest payments, from Leftist Govt overspending.... Sad

Puts it into context somewhat don't it.... Cheesy
