Navy warships to be built in Perth under Coalition election pledge worth $1bThree new warships costing up to $1 billion will be built in Western Australia under a Coalition election pledge that has taken some defence industry figures by surprise. Absolute disgrace. Spend that money where it's needed, not on these embarrassingly Freudian vanity projects. 'Every...warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.' Where are they getting the money from?More national debt I guess? All to feed the Military Industrial Complex. auspol People don't want war, or the machines that come with it. Only bankers and oligarchs crave war, at the expense of naive young people, fighting for fictional terms such as 'freedom' and 'democracy'. They care NOT for human life. fuckwar wakeup

Labor vows to double Coalition funding for domestic violence victimsWomen and children escaping domestic abuse are being offered extra support as Labor promises to double coalition government spending on family violence Our judicial system needs an overhaul also, way too many violent offenders released back into society way too quickly. That's the way of the out of touch, multi-millionaire politician. Just throw taxpayer money at a problem as a band-aid, instead of addressing the underlying causation, i.e massive income disparity and economic stress placed on average families that consequently lead to violence. That will work.
