The news reporting I heard was the possibility of making a commitment of 4 x C-17s to support a NFZ. I wonder if PM Gillard (at the UN today) has checked with Def Min (who is in London today) or with CDF. We own 4 x C-17s, that does not mean we can deploy 4. Could probably deploy 2. I would suggest politicians don't understand this.
But it's a good time to push the argument to acquire a further 2.
