Putting aside the likelihood that Housing probably won't exist in a few years, think about who will get Oz bases (should they ever occur again). Obviously, the senior guys get them, who are also closest to retirement.

In fact, anyone who is thinking of retiring who has the right to live in Oz would be crazy not to take an Oz base. They may need to convert to the Airbus, but once on base they can take Long Service leave, part way through their 20+ weeks of leave they announce they are taking early retirement. They probably won't even have to set foot in Oz and risk being eaten, bitten or stabbed by a stingray. They can sit in France and count the $$$$$.

Regrettably my grandfather never stole a loaf of bread, so I have no right to live in Oz, otherwise I would be into it like an SO into the sandwiches.
