Yay guy who made money off opposite viewpoint to stealth doesnt like stealth.

Abbott is a traitor propping up US manufacturing instead of the Australian car industry!

Lies, lie, lies! When will the Australian people wake up to Abbott British-born traitor.

Why can't we have an Australian PM who is loyal to Australia?

He's stolen from the next generation, but that won't worry Abbott, he'll be in the old people's home by then.

Because we are not an independent nation.

Oz is not, and has never been a nation in the true sense of the word. It has been a protectorate of the USA since the Hitler War, and before that was a UK colony. A nation arises when its people gather and decide their own fate; Oz was legislated into "nationhood" by act of the UK government in order to provide another "independent" vote at international assemblies.

Abbott DOESN'T have "money for planes'. ALL Oz money is borrowed from the USA and the international organs it controls, such as the IMF (Refer Bretton Woods if you disagree).

Abbot has been instructed to buy more flunky JSF's by his USA bosses. Can't argue with that, since they own and control Oz.

Besides, Oz doesn't have a Defence Force, but a Defence Farce that is completely incapable of defending the country, hence the welcomed presence of "foreign" troops on Oz soil.

The Yanks certainly control the Australian foreign policy and defence spending.

Uncle Sam says "Jump!" and successive Oz leaders simply ask "How high?"

Sad really.

I'm just wondering if this 12 billion for useless toy planes is not a defacto insurance policy money that we pay the yanks to protect us ?

Australia will buy 58 more F-35 Joint Strike Fighters (JSF) at a cost of more than $12 billion after the Federal Government gave the go ahead for the purchase yesterday.

The extra aircraft will bring Australia's total Joint Strike Fighter force to 72 aircraft, with the first of them to enter service in 2020.

The $12.4 billion price tag makes the Joint Strike Fighters Australia's most expensive Defence asset.

The Government says it will also consider the option of buying another squadron of the next-generation fighter jets to eventually replace the RAAF'S F/A-18 Super Hornets.

Question: Which country are we in dire peril of?

Answer: None.

The only foreseeable threat to the lives of Australians are from within our own migrant communities ~ specifically our Muslims.

The billions being spent on these aerial toys that will never see a day's service in a combat zone would be more wisely spent to bribe certain Middle Eastern nations to accept some of our Muslim career criminals and long-term dole-bludgers ... and the ones that ASIO already knows are a threat to public safety.

I'm amazed at this sudden extravagance on the part of the Abbott government after weeks of getting us all used to the idea of retirement at 70, and doctors visits no longer being free.

> Question: Which country are we in dire peril of?

Wrong. The greatest threat to the well-being of Australia is Australia, closely followed by the USA.

I have a feeling this purchase may end up in the history books as ... 'Abbott's Folly'.

Maybe Abbott knows something from his Intelligence services that has been kept from the public.

This picture of Abbott shows him sitting in the pilot's seat of an F-35 ... with a bulky rocket-launched ejection seat behind him ...

Is Labor going to use this picture at the next election? With a caption?

"ON YOUR WAY, TONY!"  ;D

An Australian is some one who wants to be here and contribute - regardless of where you were born.

The Gillards wanted to be here and wanted to contribute, and did.

The Mad Monk wants to be as British as Sir Anthony!!!

I will take a fresh off the boat Afghan as a fellow Australian before I would consider anyone who wants to drag Australia back 200 years as an Australian regardless of where they were born or who they were born too.

at the moment australia can't even make pulverized sheep sh.t which is what happens after decades of de-industrialization which has turned Australia into a quarry and a paradise for real-estate crooks :(

Meanwhile, Hockey will end 'the age of entitlement for Australians by lifting pension age to 70. But age of entitlement will continue for US aircraft manufacturers and politicians.

Hockey's pension will be $270,000!

Age of self-entitlement?

The duty of all Ozns is to fulfill their destiny as a consumer base, a workforce, a gene pool and an organ farm. What other use have they?

Awww geez! If Australia had the technical know how to make our own advanced fighter jets, Abbott would be buying from our own. Too bad Australians are too busy settling for acceptable jobs, instead of taking the initiative and making a go of advanced scientific and mechanic research. The absolute apathy of Australians is astounding.

This plane is a joke compared to the Russian made jets used by our Asian neighbours.

...and your expertise is based on the last plane you designed - was an ME109???  :)

How come Abort has money for toy planes ?

The way that Tony has been going on the international stage he probably thinks that some serious defensive capability may be needed sooner or later.

There is already a thread with 774 posts on this:

I think the real reason we are doing this is to be compatible with the Yanks
weapon & communication systems so that we
could work together as allies in times of war.

The Labor Party put in the first order for these planes & from some investigation they were looking very much like a bottomless pit to pour money down .....way behind schedule & with too many faults....

an aeronautical Collins Class lemon.

Huge computer/software problems that could see them just drop out of the sky with a malfunction. Don't know that they can be flown manually.

Now Abbott has come a long & upped the ante by buying more.

Strange ... usually anything the Labour Party instigates he & his cronies put plans in motion to rescind/repeal/throw out.

Very strange purchase indeed gnads...

Especially considering we've only ever had a handful of jets in the past... are we on the brink of war that no one knows about?

Maybe abbott wanted to put some money into the Texas economy. .

It also opens up at least 7 billion dollars of contract work for Australia. ..

The other thing with these fighter jets is that they are a fixed priced purchase and maintenance setup...

And for that idiot that suggested that we should purchase Chinese or Russian jets. Well. He should just hand in his resignation!  >:(
