Scullin Defence Cuts Shrink Australia’s Army Force
The Australian Country Party condemns Scullin Government for aborting the citizen army and slashing defence funding. It notes numbers fell from 47,564 citizen soldiers and 1,728 permanent soldiers to about 29,900, with camps removed, uniforms scrapped, and wage cuts, while claiming policy wastes millions and risks security. It cites Defence Minister Green’s claim that a voluntary 5,000 could grow to 180,000, contrasting with Australia’s reduced forces and global contrasts. France’s 727,000 regulars are mentioned as a yardstick.
