"Well then, it certainly makes a huge mockery of the billions upon billions of dollars that Australia spends on defence if our Radar/technology is not up to the standards of detecting a 'friggin' Boeing 777 off any part of our coast. Not to mention a joke that the US doesn't know where it is with over 1000 military bases around the globe and countless military operations going on at any one time."
well, is it a surprise?
they couldn't stop 2 planes taking out twin towers and they didn't know planes landed in the White house front yard - until it happened.
We don't look off every part of our coast - why would we?
