Critics blast Labor's submarine spending as Australians struggle

Original: While the unAustralian Labor government are pissing-away $368+ BILLION on sub's we'll never get, and further billions on

Australian opposition voices are attacking the Labor government over its A$368 billion AUKUS submarine program, arguing the money should go to struggling households instead. The criticism pairs the Defence spending with billions in fossil fuel subsidies, citing recent data suggesting Australian households may have reached a financial tipping point amid cost-of-living pressure.

Why now: Cost-of-living hardship in Australia is fuelling anger over the government's multi-billion-dollar defence and subsidy commitments.
