Letter to the Editor
Cocos Islands
I would like the US to move their military base out of Darwin because it makes the capital a target.
Darwin has already been built three times and its buildings need to be able to withstand a category 4 cyclone.
Darwin was bombed during WW2 because the US had a military base in the country. Given the US is likely to use its military bases in Australia, during a regional conflict, without our knowledge or agreement, I would prefer they did not use somewhere that is expensive for us to rebuild.
