JSF - One engine?

Out of interest what are the thought processes on single engine fighters being right for the RAAFs small fleet??

How many engine failures have the 404s suffered on 18's over the last 20 years? And what would have been the 18's hull loss rate had they been singles?

Its a different time and technology, but the Mirage loss rate due to engine problems seemed to be quite high over its service life.
