About this episode
The AUKUS agreement has brought a rare political sight this week: the government and the opposition are agreeing with each other.
Both major parties support the deal and if anything they’re competing to show who can support it more strongly.
But how will we pay for it? Will we cut spending on other services? Or try to increase tax revenue?
Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper Paul Bongiorno, on how $368 billion dollars in spending is inevitably getting political.
