Going with extra Super Hornets would be a good idea I think, it would reduce the operational risks associated with F-35 delays and mitigate future block obsolescence by spreading out the F-35/whatever is next buy. Brendan Nelson got criticised a lot for the original buy (including by Me), but he has turned out to have made a very good decision.
Suggesting, OTS subs is another smart move. The RAN and ASC can't even run its existing Collins Class fleet to an acceptable standard, so they have a snowflakes chance in hell of doing a good job building the most advanced diesal electrics ever. I reckon the ALP will ditch that idea anyway, we can't afford it in the current climate and they won't want to lumber themselves with another white elephant.

I would look at the viability of the F-15 silent eagle over the F-18 super hornets and maybe a squadron of B-1 lancers as a direct replacment for the F-111's
As for the subs I dont know I would prefer nukes to smaller deisel electric subs

I like both ideas. But I cant see the US parting with enough Lancers for the RAAF to form a squadron with. And we already have chosen the F18/F over the F15, so I cant see that happening now, but I would like to see it happen.

Was there a major die off in the Australian forum last summer? An EMT event, or a plague?

Probably an EMP rather than an EMT. My spelling could use an copy editor.
