An interesting question. Might it be the Government itself as a way of demonstrating that it is not quite as beholden to Washington as many claim?

China shouldn't be whinging about increased tensions between our countries when it's getting it's claws into countries very close to us. Namely Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Imagine if China sets up bases in these countries? It's on the cards.

Correct - you can't trust the Chinese.

We raised a tiger that has now grown up & will bite us.

In your Sinophobic imagination perhaps, Hammer. China does not build bases overseas very much. It has one in Bangladesgh, one in Myanmar, another in Pakistan and minor ones in the Indian Ocean. Hardly the stance of a country intent on world domination.

Now compare that to how many the US has around the world...

The Chinese are building this massive undersea communications line for PNG Bob. They put together these massive public works all around the world so they gain influence in craphole countries. Australia has no chance of matching this to gain back influence in PNG. But little does PNG know there is a payback. China banged on about imperialism for years and now it has become imperialist. Chinese bases are going to end up a few hundred kms off the Australian mainland.

Nine News

PM warns China not to consider building naval base in the South Pacific

By Chris Uhlmann • Nine Network Political Editor
4:19pm Apr 10, 2018

The Prime Minister has warned China not to consider building military bases on South Pacific Islands.
"The maintenance of peace and stability in the Pacific is of utmost importance to Australia," Malcolm Turnbull said.
"We would view with great concern the establishment of any foreign military bases in those Pacific Island countries and neighbours of ours."

It comes after a Fairfax Media report which said that there have been early discussions between the Chinese and Vanuatu governments about a military build-up in the island nation.
The Prime Minister said Vanuatu has assured Australia than no approach had been made.

But 9NEWS has confirmed that the Australian Defence Force is aware that China has sounded out Vanuatu about increasing its military engagement.
A senior defence official said China "has certainly expressed its interest" in a greater military presence to the government of the tiny South Pacific nation.

ScoMo can say what he likes. He is trying to shore up his position domestically by "looking tough." As long as his Government doesn't pay up, the Oceania countries are going to look elsewhere for the compensation they feel they deserve for climate change. China is not likely to build bases here. As I have shown, they have the fraction of the number of bases that the US has and their closest ones are over 3,500 km from Darwin. Until you have prove otherwise, you and ScoMo are just whistling dixies, Hammer. Tsk, tsk. Roll Eyes

Would you want them moved to the east coast so we can get a clean shot at China? Don't loads of people live on the east coast? Secondly we have to maintain I alliance with the US. So that means sometimes we have to bend over and take it up the jacksie.

I don't want them on Australian soil at all, Hammer. If our defence relationship is so important to the US, then we should get something in return for host their IRBMs. What are they going to pay/give us? Do you know?

Oh, and your attitude is rather interesting. Tell me, would Washington be willing to allow say, Hawaii to host Australian missiles? I somehow doubt it... Roll Eyes

What is Hawaii close to that is a threat to Australia, eyewareringly idiotic Bwian?

US missiles in Darwin? Say goodbye to Darwin.

First up, why station them in Darwin? Who is a threat to Australia to the point where we need IRBM to counter them? Isn't there anywhere else, closer to their intended target(s)?

Second question. whats in it for us to make us a target for who ever hates the US to the point they would target Australia?

Would you want them moved to the east coast so we can get a clean shot at China? Don't loads of people live on the east coast? Secondly we have to maintain I alliance with the US. So that means sometimes we have to bend over and take it up the jacksie.

I don't want them on Australian soil at all, Hammer. If our defence relationship is so important to the US, then we should get something in return for host their IRBMs. What are they going to pay/give us? Do you know?

Oh, and your attitude is rather interesting. Tell me, would Washington be willing to allow say, Hawaii to host Australian missiles? I somehow doubt it... Roll Eyes

What is Hawaii close to that is a threat to Australia, eyewareringly idiotic Bwian?

What is a threat to Australia that Darwin is close to, Soren? Roll Eyes

Asia

Ah, yes, the ol' Yellow Peril scare, hey, Soren? Roll Eyes

You may remember the Indos had to be kicked out of TimTim Brian.

Actually, they chose to leave. No one kicked anybody out at all. I suggest you read up on INTERFET to find out the truth... Roll Eyes

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour. Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes
