Socialist Alliance national co-convenor Sam Wainwright explains why the Socialist Alliance is campaigning at this election to cut military spending in half.
Wainwright spoke to Alex Bainbridge the day after Treasurer Jim Chalmers presented the federal budget promising to increase military spending both in absolute terms and as a proportion of gross domestic product.
They also discuss the Greens policy of repurposing $4 billion of existing military spending towards domestic missiles and military drone production.
