Australias next-generation jet fighter which will fly from Darwin and Katherine has been labelled the jackass of all trades and masterful of none.
Independent military and policy think tank Air Power Australia is dismissive of the plan to acquire 72 Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning Joint Strike Fighters from the United States. Blue sky marketing was overshadowing major problems with the aircraft, its head Peter Goon told a Canberra hearing of a Senate inquiry investigating the acquisition.
It has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme, he said.
When the product fails recruit as many clients as you can, promote the product as loudly as you can, keep the cash flowing for as long as the market remains blind to its failure.
