npub14gv3h40l9fzfhdqyague9866k3jlauaacr2e9ac9w5e9plhtzkmsact7fq (npub14gv…t7fq) It is hard to know the exact budget for DV. The machinery review for counter terrorism identified $500m+ in dedicated CT funding. The funding for DV is much harder to track, it is spread through multiple levels of government, through multiple government departments, community groups, etc. Is the CT budget too high? Hard to tell, due to secrecy, etc. Is the DV budget too low? Again hard to tell, due to dispersed nature of funding, but it would appear so given its extent in society.
