It was a close run thing the first time against a much less capable Military.
Slightly more urgent view down here than `stateside.
Nowhere near as close as Cuba is to Key West.
But close enough to cause a major diversion of resources for the ADF if PLAN ships and PLAAF aircraft could base there and project power into the Coral Sea and points north.
Just keeping an eye on what they are doing could become very taxing.
