Civil defence response to attack on Oz sub bases

Geoff Taylor, Perth, Feb 28, 2025

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.
