15:48Now PlayingThe debate over welfare versus warfare has lit a touchpaper because it is much more than just a tale of the difficult political choices all governments must make about where to put resources.
But now the tussle over this question is something that the current prime minister is grappling with and is shaping up to be one of the biggest challenges since he got the job last year.
