The Australian 2010 Political Campaign

I am wondering why there hasnt been a sentence even mentioned about, what the plans are for bringing Australians home from fighting a war abroad! Considering the amount of monies that go on the KILLING budget! The government likes to sugar coat it by calling it the DEFENCE budget, LOL, but hey we all know we aint exactly defending Australia way over there in the middle east.I actually thought that the word DEFENCE meant resistance against ATTACK! Obviously this subject is very touchy and by the sound of it the Leading Campaigners Gillard and Abbott are keeping it zipped, as long as no-one mentions it! All they keep talking about is our economy! Australia's economy would be financially more stable if our government didn't spend so much money on teaching our peoples how to kill other people through our KILLING Budget! It would be nice if we actually used the word DEFENCE in its proper context, quite simple really! This jus be my lil ole opinion though, each to their own! It is very hard to choose the best from a BAD lot!
