This is brought up again? Why?
 
It was thoroughly debunked by the US Air Force and RAND itself. 
 
The idiots who "released" this news did not even understand that the software used in this simulation does not relate to air combat at all, but rather logistical issues.
 
Falconview was used in this exercise. Simplisticly put: 
 
Falconview = logistics
 
Brawler = air combat simulation. 
  
That these morons can't even tell the basic difference between the two, hardly provides compelling evidence that they have the faintest clue of what they are talking about...
 
In short, this report is complete rubbish and not worth the time spent on reading it.

Anybody have any idea how the F35 is travelling production wise?  I have read that producti9on is not now due to start until 2014.  If this is correct how will it affect the timescale of delivery of RAAF F35's?

That will be full rate production. Low rate initial production (LRIP) is already underway and comprises something like the first 400x airframes.
 
RAAF's first F-35A's are programmed to come from the 3rd batch of LRIP (LRIP -3) and should be delivered from 2013 according to the most recent L-M production chart -
