This full-page advertisement in the Western Australian on 11/11/2008 (Armistice Day) was developed by MAPW's WA Branch, and former Premier Peter Dowding. It questions Australia's spending on overseas wars, in particular Afghanistan, and calls for our troops to be brough home. It would also make a fine poster.

This 2004 report by MAPW President Dr Sue Wareham argues that the health and welfare of Australians have been sacrificed by policies that confuse security with military power, and divert funding from health care to killing. It compares in detail the Australian budget for military and other needs.
