Though we should consider it's in AUD, not USD. A middle value, $6 billion Australian would be $4 billion US. Still a hefty amount, but afaik Australian procurement states its programme costs including long term life cycle costs so that figure would probably be a lot lower when calculated in conventional arms deal programme cost methodology.
