Radio National Breakfast — Separate stories podcast - Un pódcast de ABC listen
With ten days to go till the federal election, the Coalition has promised to boost defence spending by $21 billion over the next five years. Labor plans to increase defence spending from two per cent of GDP to 2.33 per cent over a decade but the opposition argues that's not enough to keep the country safe. It wants defence spending up to three per cent of GDP within a decade. Guest: Andrew Hastie, shadow defence minister.
