Single frame. Man standing in front of woman in wheelchair says: “Instead of complaining about the expensive nuclear subs we may never see, or our increasing expenditure on war machinery, maybe think about how properly funding YOUR NEEDS makes us LESS SAFE as a country…”

The subs need to be cancelled, Iran and Ukraine has shown that the only way to stop a superpower is to assymetrical warfare with lots of drones. That’s what we should have hundreds or thousands drone subs rather than one nuclear sub, if one gets taken out it won’t matter. They can protect the coastline far more effectively
Ha…as a generally anti-war, disabled dude in a wheelchair, constantly fighting for support this was a good chuckle.
But hear me out….we can afford both defense spending for this world that has gone absolutely fucking batshit insane and seems more tense than ever AND social supports if we tax the god damn billionaires and mining companies PROPERLY while they rob our country blind from under our feet.
We don’t need to infight amongst ourselves for the crumbs, as if the money isn’t already available to us to use. That’s exactly what these powerful bastards want us to do.
Cannot upvote this enough
Just read that 32 billion will be spent on defence in the next decade.
We have aged care cost blowouts
Submarines we won’t ever get
Super profits from big corporations
No resource mining tax
But go fuck up disabled peoples lives to save money because they can’t fight back. Many are tax payers that just need some help to stay functional
