‘Historical scale’: Richard Marles on ‘very significant increases’ to defence spending
Defence Minister Richard Marles says the defence’s budget is “expanding significantly”.
Mr Marles said we are seeing an “additional $50 billion” over the next ten years.
“There are very, very significant increases in defence spending which are of a historical scale.
“Part of our focus needs to be on what is happening in the world; we are very much focused on our region as we should be.
