Hearing Jim Chalmers going on about savings while dropping assistance for people in need.
So cancel #Aukus and stop paying ex politicians a full salary & obscene benefits especially as our veterans struggle.
Problem solved.

I am disappointed with Australia at the moment.
.
We have seemingly unlimited money for weapons, we don't charge a fair tarrif for our gas and other resources, we don't tax the rich.
.
Yet there is no money for DV, health, education, etc. Housing is broken.
.
Our priorities are wrong.
