Cut military spending, dump AUKUS | Green Left Show #53

Thursday Mar 27, 2025

Socialist Alliance national co-convenor Sam Wainwright explains why the Alliance is campaigning at this election to cut military spending in half.

This episode covers: 1:41 Why cut military spending by half?; 7:31 Trump's 'wild' claim to Greenland, Canada and Panama; 10:57 Trump and AUKUS; 12:15 Greens policy for $4 billion on military drones; and 16:53 Is cancelling AUKUS utopian?
