The bottom line IMHO is that whether both both/all (considering a third is a strong possibility) jets are based at JT, or split between JT & BRM, patient transport/outcomes will be significantly enhanced either way. To me, having one based in BRM is a logical step for the reasons already spelt out by many so far.
Sorry FGD, while I understand what you're saying regarding the potential financial efficiencies of basing all jets in Perth, you do seem to have a "bee in your bonnet" about it & I'm not sure why. I know the WA Health Dep't want a stronger RFDS presence in the Kimberley & the planned crew/aircraft allocation should satisfy that requirement...
Just my 2 lire worth...
