Al Carns: “a really honest conversation with the population about the threats we face”

The prime minister needs to make "bold and courageous" decision to fund defence.

So, my view would be we need to get on board.

But we are fighting amongst each other to get more money for the key unifying principle of the of any government, which is to protect this nation.

There comes a point when honesty requires action. And for me, that point came last week.
