Civil defence response to attack on Oz sub bases
It sounds as if the assessment doesn’t deal either with the civil defence response needed if a nuclear-tipped hypersonic missile targets Osborne, or for that matter, Garden Island and Henderson in WA.
The federal government seems to be of the view that such a response is a state government matter, but so far I have been unable to find out what the WA government’s civil defence plan for a nuclear strike on the sub facilities is.
