Australian Shadow Finance Minister Jane Hume contends that government decisions under Albanese have led to a decline in the nation's strength regarding its security. She asserts that current defence spending is insufficient for the prevailing global environment. Hume states that the Coalition aims to rectify this perceived weakness and enhance Australia's defence capabilities, although specific policies have not yet been detailed. She suggests that a future Coalition government would prioritise restoring what they consider an inadequate defence posture.
