Public support for more defence spending is a 20-year low and more than 70% of Australians oppose tax increases to pay for more defence spending, according the results of the latest ANUpoll published today in The Canberra Times.
The fourth ANUpoll provides insight into what the Australian public thinks about defence and defence-spending ahead of the expected release of the Government’s Defence White Paper. It found a majority of Australians believe that defence is now stronger than it was ten years ago.
