The federal government says 268 new bushmasters will be built in Bendigo - in regional Victoria - at a cost of 750-million dollars. The new vehicles are part of a 1.2 billion dollar spend that'll also see defence force trucks, and other vehicles used to transport personnel in hostile environments, upgraded. A fleet of Bushmasters has also been sold to the Netherlands. GUEST: Richard Marles, Deputy Prime Minister PRODUCER: Isadora Bogle
