Significantly more lead time than the impression I had gained from news media at the time. It would still be interesting to know what sort of briefings were provided to make the case at the time, but the mere plebs of the Australian public will likely never have the privilege of hearing the basis, we just get vague statements that are supposed to be a justification.
