Posting this FWIW, as these sorts of things sometimes stir up confected controversy or outrage.

  • "In short: The ABC can reveal that after meeting Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Canberra on Thursday evening, Grant Shapps flew to Adelaide in the back seat of an RAAF Super Hornet.
  • The Department of Defence said it was "delighted" to offer the fast jet experience to one of Australia's key defence partners.
  • The jet was selected to "demonstrate one component of Australia's air combat capability", the Department of Defence said."
