Australia moves defence bases up north! (1 Viewer)

My thought was how many $'s and where are the $'s coming from.

I guess the new naval bases can house the fleet of submarines proposed in the previous review (that will never happen).

I think a good idea to let the US have bases at the top end if they want to.
 
If there,s gonna be a fight that,s where it will start,no point having soldiers in Sydney etc.Funny how where making billions off China in iron ore and now they are "Presumed" a threat,good idea i reckon need the US as Allies but don't want them fighting our wars for us they can help tho.
 
Yes its a catch 22 i geuss like you say we sell Iron ore which boost our economy big time but then they turn around and build war ships out of the stuff {eek3}.
Im sure Gina Rinehart with her 10 Billion plus fortune could afford to bring in her own private army to defend her mining assets.
 
I think it will mostly just mean expanding the existing barracks at Darwin and Townsville.

Agreed, our bases are mainly already in the North! … the further you move away from major population centres, the further you move away from your recruiting base.
