Im just wondering what will happen when the next election comes around. This is a big ticket item and Labor's still smarting over the submarine contract dramas, so why wouldnt they use this as an election issue out of sheer spite and promise a royal commision and a 'review' should they be voted in just to raise their profile in the defense debate? They could use NZ as a precedent to say the huge expense isnt necessary. How about cancelling the deal and cut our losses and buy UCAV's? I can hear the arguements now.
