THE Coalition will target a near-doubling of the nation’s defence budget to $50 billion within a decade, under directions given to the authors of a white paper to be announced next month.
Defence Minister David Johnston will take a formal submission for the white paper to cabinet early next month, with the authors told to keep to two core pledges made by the Coalition in opposition: that there will be no cuts to defence spending; and that within a decade the defence budget should reach 2 per cent of gross domestic product.
Defence is yet to prove it is knows what it is doing with $26B per year.
$10B of it waste.
