Defence spending posters.

More important things we could be spending some of the Defence budget on.

Please feel free to download the posters and print and distribute the posters in your community.

Remember the $16.64 m per day figure is what Defence cost for 2024-25.

Following the May 2025 budget this figure will increase to closer to $22 million a day - it will be a massive 37% increase.
