Can't give it away!!!!

Watching ABC mid-day news today, Hugh White, head of the Australian Defence Strategic Institute, said that the ADF had fallen short $200 million for the last 2 years on allocated funds for defence aquisition. In my book, $200 million will get you a few reconditioned ex-RN Sea Kings. Considering the fleets utility helo availabilty is at about 35% of the required level, this could bridge the gap for another 10 years.
If this is not possible, $200 million would keep the boys (and girls) lubricated for a while in the Wardroom and Senior Sailors at Albatross. I'm sure they may even send a carton of Swan Light to the chaps at Richmond as a jesture of good will!!!!
Any Thoughts on how you think the ADF should of spent the $200 million last year???
