Hi,

I hate the thought of these things. With all due respect to Matt's friend, I consider it is the latest example in Oz of buying exorbitantly expensive weapons we don't really need, like Abrams tanks. The F-35A version is reported to now cost US$107 million each without an engine. It appears we might get our initial order of 2 by 2020, instead of 2014.

Argh
