They [I presume the OzGubmnt] have said on a couple of occasions that the infrastucture on the ship would need to be completely redone to operate F35s....
Exactly the opposite is said because the Oz LHDs were designed by Spanish as per JCI to operate F-35Bs. Sure deck coating and minor mods needed in light of new info but nothing dramatic nor expensive - however it won't happen because no interest at moment - if ever - to put RAAF F-35Bs temporarily on Oz LHDs.
