Abstract
- This article presents information on the election promise of Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott to increase defense spending within a decade and its effect on the government's midterm fiscal strategy and its 2021 surplus. It discusses the amount to be spent by the government on defense to hit the 2021 target, and the need for the government to clear this obstacle before it releases its defense white paper on defense spending.
