Default Australia buying 58 more F35's

The Mad Monk and his crew of criminals have bought the Lockheed line .

At least Canada and Denmark may save their shekels whilst there's still time.

Bill Shorten has agreed with Abbott one thing finally. Mind you Labor selected the F35 in the first place so he could hardly pan this announcement.
