The piece argues Australia must develop a practical defence scheme funded by the Federal Government. It notes current reliance on volunteers is insufficient, with only about 20,000 in training from tens of thousands able to bear arms. It highlights cost per man for militia, light horse, and rifles, and urges robust, nationwide defense provisions aligned with constitutional obligations and national responsibility.
