I want to mention that this is not the only case of critical F-35 components being produced here. The fuselage is produced by Quickstep near Blacktown, NSW. Our country is not just a part of the war machine, but an essential part.

It’s wild to me that the F-35 program is constructed in such a way that the slightest disruption to supply lines would ground them. Like if China somehow cut off Australia from the US, both those countries wouldn’t be able to use their F35s until that issue is resolved?

It’s bizarre. “Supply chain issues? Never heard of 'em!”. Even just natural disasters could take down critical parts of the supply lines, let alone community or worker actions against the factories. Australian whalfies have already shown during this conflict they’re willing to take anti-war actions, so disruptions are a real threat.

Turns out the whole world is one paycheque away from chaos.
