Australian Defence Expenditure Anger Over London Journal Claim
An Australian correspondent protests an English London journal editorial that claims Australia spends double per head on defence and labels it excessive. The Commonwealth Prime Minister asserts per‑capita defence costs are not double Germany’s and objects to the inflammatory wording. He notes Australia’s geographic isolation and youth justify stronger defence, not cuts.

It condemns London-driven criticism as ignorance and partisanship while reaffirming commitment to duty.
