ED: This is a well-reasoned and practical proposal that makes excellent use of existing Defence assets without compromising their primary role. The ability to quickly convert Chinooks, Hercules, and Black Hawks into waterbombers when civilian resources are stretched is a smart, cost-effective contingency plan. Investing in proven solutions like MAFFS and Helitak tanks ensures that Australia is better prepared for our fire seasons while maintaining flexibility in Defence operations. A proactive approach like this would give Australians confidence that the government is planning ahead, rather than scrambling to react when disaster strikes.
