Socialist Alliance national co-convenor Sam Wainwright explains why the Alliance is campaigning at this election to cut military spending in half.

He spoke to Alex Bainbridge on the Green Left Show the day after treasurer Jim Chalmers presented the federal budget which is going in the exact opposite direction, promising to increase military spending both in absolute terms and as a proportion of GDP.

They also discuss the Greens policy of repurposing $4 billion of existing military spending towards domestic missiles and military drone production.

This episode covers: 1:41 Why cut military spending by half?; 7:31 Trump's 'wild' claim to Greenland, Canada and Panama; 10:57 Trump and AUKUS; 12:15 Greens policy for $4 billion on military drones; and 16:53 Is cancelling AUKUS utopian?
