Quick Glance: Plans for New Fighter Jets Delayed Despite Labor's Defense Budget Increase
- The Albanese government is injecting an additional $50bn into defense over the next decade to extend military reach beyond Australia's shores.
- While overall spending is increasing, approximately $73bn over 10 years is being freed up by cutting, delaying, or altering the scope of some defense projects.
- The acquisition of new F-35 fighter jets is postponed by $3bn to keep existing Super Hornets operational longer and invest in long-range missiles.
- Despite $10bn in savings over 10 years from scaling back new infantry fighting vehicle purchases, the government highlights a net increase of $5.7bn in the immediate four-year budget cycle for defense.
