My question is to the minister. All members of parliament were recently invited to experience what it would be like to fly one of the new joint strike fighter 35s, and it was quite amazing for those who took up the offer. I am told by pilots in the veteran community that it is like flying a computer desk compared to how they used to fly planes. I think every one of us who availed ourselves of that opportunity understood the amazing capability that it has. Could you elaborate on why that is the best and right choice, and the flow-on benefits to Australian industry?
