Australia mostly needs aircraft with a long-range, decent loiter-time and an anti-shipping capability.

They have it half right purchasing the Boeing P-8A Poseidon and evaluating Reaper drones.

But like the UK we don't need aircraft carriers, but it seems that's what Tony now wants the new Canberra class ships to be.
