Government has ‘no money’ to better protect vulnerable military bases 

The biggest threat comes from stupid politicians

Labor must go asap. Stop mass immigration, and spend money on Defence.

Plenty of money to give themselves a pay rise

Yet they spend 500 million on two private jets.

No because they send it to Ukraine !

I see Australia basically have the same bad issues as America due to bad government.

The failures of Albanese & the Labor government just keep piling higher & higher 😂😂😂😂

Government has no money for defence?? Must be a Labor government! 🙄🙄😑

Use that $40 Bn for ALL Australians

Plenty of money for Gaza

Money for renewables and more people on the taxpayers purse.

How do you tell the enemy we have nothing and we’re open to be screwed with out telling them we’re open to be screwed

Plenty of money to give to Ukraine but 🤬

He pisse all our money away on solar panels

Ukraine will protect Australia 😂😂😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😮😮😮

So glade this has been advertised to the world.... not that labor will ever do anything to benefit Australia they will only ever do put Australia on the back foot.

It’s going to take Australia years to recover from these years of incompetency.

There's piles of money that could be taken from healthcare and education.

Theres plenty of money, $105m to Vietnam so they can buy solar panels $600m to the NRL for an overseas team $240m towards an AFL stadium in Tasmania...

So who's getting the sack!

We might have had the money 😔💰 if Albo and Co didn't spend 450 million on the YES VOTE 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

DAM IF ONLY WE DIDN'T WASTE 450 MILLION DOLLARS ON THE VOICE REFERENDUM 😂😂😂😂😂

Get Australian companies to start building them instead buying it from overseas

Out of a 2 trillion economy, there's no money.

Albo sends money all over the place.

Labour stuff every thing up. Vote labour out

Biden #2

The only way I see Australia getting back on track is by the ADF taking control, evicting the clearly corrupt governments in play and reforming and redefining the systems and cultures as a whole.

There is plenty of money for referendums, politician pay rises, football teams in other countries, renewable transitions, makarrata and NDIS blowouts. None of it will mean a thing in a regional conflict.

Plenty of money to prop up Victoria after Andrews f*cked it up!

Because we didn't treat the US with due respect. Threatened leaving AUKUS and got surprised by a price tag. I've said the PM should pick up the telephone and commit. Stop trying to save money by draining the budget. We need to run a deficit. It's wartime. We can fix it later like we have before.

Peter Dutton

A missile flew over my house last week... happens all the time.😊

What do you meen no money they gave 250 000 000 to Ukraine.

There are literally holes in the fence along a bike track that goes along the fence of the RAAF base , I won't say which one for security reasons , I don't want anyone getting in to my local base , how ever this is indicative of a government that simply have no idea what they're doing. You could drive a car or anything right in,. It's pathetic. and no one even patrols the area , since to my knowledge it's been like this for over 6 months. It's pathetic

Defence has blown money for decades, including the senior leaders in uniform.

Wow how shocking . Redirect money to our defence..

Yeah space, get me off this planet.

You don't hear any of the 'yes sir' Generals saying any of this while they are still serving.

We really need more carparks. That's LNPs answer. ADF has been under funded and languishing for at least 15 years.

Disappointing the number of folk who insist on confusing domestic policy with that of foreign policy.

I would have thought our isolation is a weakness if we are going to rely on the yanks to come to our rescue

Australia has truckloads of money 👍

labor worried more on renewables than cost of living and defence...........................

Under ground

We could allow b52s to be stationed here.

America get of Australia

The boats. I got you. I just gotta not be blocked by our signals directorate when trying to contact others who can do a thing or two. Happens all the time. Bad people, sure. Could help, certainly.

Wedge tail Eagles. Breed heaps of them. They are very territorial and fast for small drones.

Stff Gaza that's over there and we are over here we've NEVER worried about those countries before so WHY NOW 💯 percent 👎

Unfortunately 4:59

Lets send a Billion to Ukraine forget about us.....discraceful

Why do our politicians represent people In Ukraine.

I am sure our enemies will keep the ndis and giving money to stop islands sinking so why worry?

Iron dome failed 😢

I'll get laughed at but I'm right.

Spot on 4:49

Lol Albo instead wasting taxpayers money bring back the National service !!!

I won’t be voting labour

In the land where sunlit beaches gleam, Where eucalyptus sway and dream, A shadow creeps, a dark foreseen, As Albanese sleeps, it seems. Our proud defense, once fierce and grand, Now rusts and crumbles in his hand. No funds to shield our steadfast land, As threats encroach on every strand. Leahy’s cry, a clarion call, Echoes through the Senate hall. “Our bases weak, our forces small, No money left to stand up tall.” “Reprioritize,” they coldly say, Split plans in two, and thus delay. First the brains, then tech someday, A strategy that’s bound to stray. With budgets slashed, our strength depleted, Promises of power defeated. Inaction leaves us all mistreated, Our nation’s safety uncompleted. Oh, Albanese, hear the plea, From those who guard both land and sea. Restore our might, our sovereignty, Or face the wrath of history. For when the rust has turned to dust, And all our weapons seized by rust, The blame will fall, as it is just, On leaders who betrayed our trust.

Everyone other than a few senior airhead politicians, public servants & Defence personnel know that Switchblade 300 drones are scarcely more lethal than a spider bite. In the early stages of the Ukraine war, these were proved to be totally ineffective, however this hasn't stopped the Aussie Defence Muddle Heads from spending nearly $25 million on acquiring these duds. More worrying is the $3.5 BILLION these same airheads are spending on acquiring 75 Abrams tanks from the US... similar to those that are being blown sky high in Ukraine with a commercially-available $500 drone with a low-tech RPG zip-tied its underside. "Slow learners" would be a blessing in Aussie Defence. "No learners" are the problem.

labor is is toxic

Throwing money at dumb things, defence is a minor player. The USA will save us again ???

An honest man 6:51

if only they hadn't given our money to ukraine and to other countries.....

Stop sending money to Indonesia in the form of aid which we know is used for their defence. Would go along way in our defence force.how long do we have to bow down to this Vietnam era deal with the indos redirect that money to our defence

Governments biggest problem is that we don't want our sons fighting and dieing in U.S. lead conflicts for the ultimate benefit of Israel

one word for albosleasy GRUB

LOL

Maybe stop sending money to Israel and Ukrain and spend it on our defence

hmm and your gonna stop mach 20 missiles how I wonder?

هلا

We send our drones to the Ukraine it's funny we developed them for us but we want use them

🤣🤣🤣🤣 therefore, biden's action now is just arrogance, pretending to be superior but deep inside nothing left. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes, the previous administration left a huge debt.

You’re getting subs, now shut up.

🇦🇺

They increased their own salaries though? Wtf is going on.....

$450 million wasted on The Voice. Albanese could have used that!
