In the meantime we're going to spend a wack of money buying aging CF-18's from Australia and updating them airframe and avionics wise

So the question beyond, how stupid is this government when it comes to Jet Fighter replacement is how are they going to stand behind an open and fair competition for replacements when today they basically announced that they're banning Boeing from the Competition in support of a incompetent should have died years ago Bombardier, and have basically said that they're not buying the jet that they should be buying in the F-35.


In otherwords, Australia loves us because we're idiots



This thing is the used Submarines and pissed up helicopter replacement program all over again, overseen by a incompetent Minister of Defense and a completely ridiculous Public Works Program.

If there is one thing we learnt from the last submarine purchase, it is not nothing can go wrong.
