Pine gap - thats nothing to worry about. Everyone knows that it's main purpose is to help the US track their missiles. Nothing sinister about that. US a doesn't really have many bases that we know of here.
I'm just kind of hoping that everyone will leave us alone. What worrys me is that we might have 100 million chinese suddnely decide they want to come here. 90% of our population is based on the coast. Our major river systems aare just about dried up. Sure we have the physical land to put them on, but most of the country is dry desert. what they going to live from?
Yeh the econmy is booming , but whats the point is we got no-where to sell our coal, gold, iron etc? If the Nth hemisphere goes then there goes our buyers...
