There was some talk that Airbus would retain the first MRTT (the one that lost the boom) as a test aircraft, and the RAAF would get a new jet, but this dried up pretty quick.

A new boom has been ordered (at Airbus's cost) to replace the one at the bottom of the Atlantic, but there is no money for a sixth KC-30 for the foreseeable future.
