$425m is the purchase price with the ongoing contract worth somewhere north of a Billion.
I'm sure they will work well in toorak or point piper.
A standard of the shelf land cruiser would show the g wagon a clean pair of heels in the dirt.

afaia these vehicles are simply replacing the now defunct but very useful landrovers. none of those up to the 6x6 had armour. I know, I drove them and now they have been sold at auction
I do not know how good the new vehicles are tho
