They didn't. You have to differentiate between US and Aus dollars, and understand that LM's price commitment is in USD (probably 1998 or 2000 dollars).
Convert that to Australian dollars, and adjust for the increase between 2000 and 2012 (when the first Aus F-35's would be coming along), and you get $AD 100 Mil (or thereabouts).
It's academic, because the AC is still in development, Australia has not placed any orders, and the production quantity is yet to be determined.
