Thumbs up

I think it's great for our military to be utilized defending Australia.

Good for morale, good for Oz, good for the Orion crews who will get a decent amount of flying.

It's also good for the contractors supplying the military. I notice that the Govt has announced the procurement of a whole lot more patrol boats.

Since the systems the military have are so good at detecting incoming threats I expect the positions of illegal traffic will be advertised for those who would prefer to remain clear.

Actually Orions might be a smart choice... able to drop survival gear but unable to pick anyone up
