Has the government purchased a dud? | 60 Minutes Australia

Dec 29 2022
You can forget health, forget welfare, wait till you hear how they're spending your money now. Fifteen billion dollars of it. All for a new war plane. A top secret project called the Joint Strike Fighter, our biggest defence purchase ever. Liam Bartlett just had a sneak preview of this wonder jet in Texas, and he says it sure looks impressive. But then Liam took a look at the fine print. For some strange reason, our defence chiefs have gone into the deal without seriously considering any other plane. The JSF has only flown seven times. And it might turn out to be a dud, the wrong aircraft to defend Australia. No wonder there's an almighty dogfight in the air.
