Pine Gap does SFA for us. I don't think we have a need to let the US communicate with their subs through the WA antenna.

Like absolute best case we have painted a big "Nuke Here" target on the country, because we are actively a part of their nuclear communication protocols. Not to mention, this is a fact that our government intentionally hid from us for like a decade, when Pine gap was at its most contentious.

Can you quantify any benefit we have received, there's only been a single military invitation and they bailed on it.
