Episode Details

The military is set to get a surprise pay raise above inflation, retroactive to April 1st — the third boost since the current government took office — aimed at ensuring every service member earns at least a living wage. But with a $28 billion budget shortfall still unexplained and morale lagging, the move comes amid mounting pressure. Only 37% of troops say they’re satisfied with their pay — a sharp decline — even as maintenance satisfaction has improved. Meanwhile, the long-awaited defense investment plan remains delayed, with ministers now downplaying its imminent release as they finalize details — all while global tensions rise and international summits loom.
