That’s the advice from Dr Brad Roberts, who served as US deputy assistant >secretary of defence for nuclear and missile defence policy between 2009
and 2013.
Dr Roberts, who is currently in Australia briefing officials about
regional threats, told the ABC it doesn’t have to be too costly.
“I don’t think it’s a large number of very expensive interceptors and >radars deployed around the periphery of the Australian continent,” he
said. “A sea-based capability on the advanced destroyer that would include >a sea-based radar and some interceptors: that could operate in coalition >partnership with other allies.”
“Unfortunately, Australia doesn’t really get to choose whether or not >North Korea threatens it — it’s the choice that the North Korean leader >[Kim Jong-un] makes,” he said. “His objective is to make us fearful so >that our leaders will not stand up to his threats and coercion.”
Defence Industry Minister Christopher Pyne confirmed last month that the >Government was considering upgrading the Navy’s new air warfare destroyers >to include missile defence shields.
“In the Defence White Paper, and the integrated investment plan, upgrades >of the warfare destroyer capabilities have been already flagged,” Mr Pyne >said.
### - sell a few incredibly expensive arms to australia in the meantime??

they're ostensibly (cough-cough) untested... but'cha wouldn't really wanna >take the risk now would ya's?

even do ya's a discount for being old pals! (terms & conditions apply...)

Mate we're so far away in Perth they would never reach us, nor would
they waste their precious fissile material on us. On the other hand,
if they took out the Yank base at Pine Gap or fucking Darwin in its
entirety, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing :)
I've been to Darwin a few times, I should know...
