Now did I just hear on the radio that the PM just sent $12M to invest in increased air tanker support as a response to the request he received several months ago and ignored?
Not new money just reannouncing money they already allocated

I heard 25-30 million USD for one, lease cost is about 1.5 million for 12 weeks but you pay for flight hours on top of that
But a 737 Lat is 23 million to buy and cheaper to run
