This boils down to "fuck you, got mine".

That money is our clapped out health system. That money is our clapped out education system. That money is rebuilding towns from the next season of bushfires - hell, maybe they'll work in some climate resistant infrastructure. That money is land management. That money is research for the CSIRO. That money is social housing.

That money is department funding to go after multinationals.

That money is stopping someone else from needing to put up with the bullshit of food scarcity you did.

This isn't America and thank fuck. If we stop spending, it falls apart and we've been putting off maintaining our society for decades now. Grow and stop seeing the bullshit you went through as validation to put others through worse.
