I look forward to what new toys Labor add.
I hope they are not going to try and lay claim to the 2 x LHD, 3 x AWD (more if they want), JSF (which they fought tooth and nail against and now acknowledge is the best choice), super hornets (which they fought tooth and nail against as well....but now acknowledge is the best interim) KC 30s, C17s, AWACs, Abrahms tanks, Tiger Attack helicopters, MRH 90s which are all or will shortly be in service.
I think all that is left is a mighty Caribou replacement and maybe new Submarines 10 years from now.....all while taking 10 Billion out of defence and not having enough people to run what the Defence force has now!
I look forward to BIG surprises.....really I do
