And beef up supply chain issues for essential services, meaning much less reliance on see Bourne trade.
Even more so when our population hits the 50 million mark
Australia is a joke. We still have populist politicians running around dissing electric cars when electric cars could be the cure for the entire energy problem including energy security and storage.

Except trucks Utes and commercial vehicles seem to be getting a free pass
US Defence has had to ask Congress for another emergency $8.8billion for their submarine program which is well behind time. And there's still no guarantees we'll have our own subs before 2040.
So we're relying on a genocidal regime which is possibly about to slide into autocracy and is already more oligarchical than Australia to patrol our borders with their submarines. What if Trump just decides to "acquire" the gas fields of NT/WA?

Genocide conventions say that if you knowingly provide the weapons, you're genocidin'.
Given the ICC has warrants out, the US set their own red-lines which Israel just ignored, but the US still sent more weapons anyway. It's safe to say they're supportive of the Genocide, even though they know it's wrong.
America already owns them
And we tax them appropriately and they decide to just annex the territory?
It wouldn't be within the first 10 times that the US has overthrown a Government because they started taxing US companies' mineral extractions.
They've done it over bananas before, FFS. And we trust this mob to defend us??
No Australian leader is standing up to the Americans any time soon.
The Gillard mining tax got watered down to nothing and was still the first thing that Abbott cancelled.
Bump.
