US makes WA vital for fighting its wars and a target for its enemies

Successive Australian governments have allowed the United States to carry out a program of militarisation in Western Australia (WA) which has made it a vital US war-fighting base and thus an inevitable target for retaliatory strikes should hostilities commence, for example, between the US and China. Much of this militarisation has been carried out behind a cloak of secrecy, without any public or parliamentary debate. This raises the question of how much the WA public and Australians generally, know about this US military build-up, its implications and the serious hazards it poses.
