It only costs 2.5% of our armed forces (including DVA) which IMO is better bang for our buck.
The military piss over $40 billion a year mostly up agaist foreign walls while poor old Auntie strives on a shoestring to keep the bastards honest.
And dont mention the $300 billion planned spend of military hardware over the next 15 years all n the interest of protecting us from the enemy form the outside.
So in that context Aunties $billion budget is good value for protecting us from the enemy within! ScoMo has floated a $12.5 billion proposal for a month's dole for Sydney; That would keep the ABC for 12 years! Well buggerme dead, mate!
