Oz already got 2 US military facility at Pine Gap western Australia whereby even Australia military is not allowed in

And the West will continue to expand militarily into Australia as part of Pivot to Asia 

Together with South Korea and Okinawa Japan, these are the West main military bases in Asia

Reasons why Oz decided to abandon the original French submarine deal and switched to the US nuclear power submarine deal is because they can be combined together to fight a theatre war using synchronised West electronic warfare system

So we can see why China embarked on the Pacific Islands handshake in recent months hoping to deploy some of its vessels nearer to Oz incase 

And why Oz FM sudden mad scramble to the same islands that for generations seen as less important neighbouring native islanders
