Well I'm really glad that the the new Australian government is going to look at this as mentioned by myself and others in this thread, that the SH deal looked very different to a well thought out planned purchase.

Mr Fitzgibbon had promised to honour the $6.6billion Super Hornet contract for 24 planes but said last week few of the previous government's decisions were as controversial as its decision to buy them "without proper due process or capability justification".

I still think this story has legs.. it will keep on running.
