I hear on the grapevine that all US submarines globally are managed from a secret facility in northern Australia, which no longer need to surface as they now have water penetrating signals presumably from LEO satellites. Given that substantial importance alone, let alone Pine Gap, I don't think the US would allow kick-out. They'd just run some kind of CIA thing internally and rejig Aussie politics, which is a joke any way you look at it.... the only creatures in parliament last time I visited were a bunch of galahs doing a bit of grass on the roof. The only people keeping Aussie politicians relatively honest were the ABC, and they've been defunded. Canberra, Australia's political capital, representing the depth and expanse of its defense and political establishment, is its fastest growing city. Yet 45 minutes out of town there is no phone signal, like a developing country, and the bars say their best business comes when parliament is sitting. Source: Visited a month ago.
