I think what you're really saying is that Australia needs a utility helicopter capability in addition to a battlefield chopper capability. The US Army now has the UH-72A [EC145] for this task. The issue in Australia is the misguided concept of a single type multi-rolling in an attempt to reduce the number of types needed as we have relatively few numbers of machines in many categories.
