Al Carns: “We need to have a really honest conversation with the population about the threats we face.”

we need to get on board

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

I have said that there are issues facing this department that do not lend themselves to easy answers, and that there needs to be agreement throughout the Government about the scale of the challenges we face.

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