KC 30
When the PM goes O/S why doesn't he use the KC 30?
It's RAAF and the thing apparently can be configured differently with more comfortable seating up the front.
It has enough seats for the media.
It has the range.
It should have secure communications being standard.
When it's not being used for the PM then it can be used for its primary role.
I would think it would be a smart thing to do using current assets. Big enough to satisfy the PM's ego and keep the public happy not buying anything flash.
