That new "Red Dawn" type movie that came out in Australia was a real laugh. If Russia gave Indonesia bombers it would run over Australia pretty quick...and there ain't no armed populace to stop the land invasion that would follow.
Whiny New Zealand would likely HELP a foreign power topple Australia. They've been secretly killing off any pro-american people in the Pacific for quite awhile in the islands....helping Russia and China get new friends.

While we might be a prime target I'd guess it would be more tactical to take out our allies first, then invade. Which is pretty much what the Japanese tried to do.

You also have to consider the fact that nearly all of the civilian population are unarmed subjects. Less than 5% of the adult civilian population own a firearm. Easy pickins. They would get completely steamrolled by basically ANY country that invaded them.

The cowards in your lands handed over their firearms and their freedoms and liberties WILLINGLY. So sad and pathetic. How the mighty have fallen.

In the unlikely event of any armed aggression towards Australia then I am absolutely certain that the UK and other Commonwealth countries would provide unconditional support.

First of all folks ...China owns more of Australia resources than Aussies do.
The Aussies have nuclear subs....every dolt even knows that.
So unless the invading orientals want to face Armageddon via British supported guidance, then no asian power is ever going to mess with Australia?
The Brits you may think are old bedders, but the Aussies chose them when the yanks froze them out folks.

If you'd forgotten the UK was under attack and was defending itself, it had few resources to send 8500 miles away to help Australia.
