Government spending is all about priorities, and according to Rudd spending $6 billion on pink batts and billions more on school halls parents don’t want is more important than national security:

…the planned acquisition (F-35) has slipped by at least two years, with the air force not due to get its first operational squadron until 2018-19 at the earliest.

The initial squadron could be trimmed to as few as 14 aircraft as Defence planners struggle to find further savings in the $27bn defence budget.

This typical of how ALP defence policy always works. Promise high deliver low.
