What do they need to defend their country by themselves?

their fucking balls back.

Weaponized kangaroos

Why would they want to defend it in the first place?

To quit taking advice from the Queen.
Defend it from who? Who the fuck wants to deal with all the bullshit that is Australia? Every day I thank God there's an ocean between Australia and everywhere else, because that means all the fucked up stuff living there can't get out without passing customs. Abos and killer koalas and kangaroo chain gangs and spider tornados man fuck that.

Threaten to air drop venomous spiders on the opposing country.

They can't.
Their GDP proportional to their landmass would require a ridiculous military budget to cover the entire landmass, and if they couldn't properly and reliably deny an enemy from making it to their shoreline then they've already lost half the battle.
Actually making use of our fucking uranium deposits and building a nuclear arsenal instead of exporting it all
>>32652057
For starters, the largest uranium deposits on Earth and a vast open flat landscape perfect for agriculture, and testing weapons further inland

You think about me every day anon kun~~ Uguuu kawaiii :3
>>32646430
Australia has stupid amounts of coal and uranium, and they're close to China.
There is nothing they can build short of a heavy first/second nuclear attack triad that would deter China.
No point invading. Hot as fuck. Spiders and snakes that kill. Even the kangaroos will fuck you ova. But if ya do, bring plenty of water....

>building a nuclear arsenal
We were supposed to get the technical know-how and research from the Brits so we could build and maintain our own arsenal fifty years ago.
Those Perfidious Yanks cock-blocked us, because they're a pack of gibsmedat cunts.

The population centres aren't. It's roughly the same distance from Sydney to Shanghai as it is from Shanghai to Europe.

A large scale war to harden my nation up. We're a nation of pussies that have never had to experience hardship.
Swiss style conscription, a readiness to completely overreact when faced with Indonesian aggression, and increased homeland logistics.
>>32653607
Conscription alone is a great way to sort out the NEET's, Boong's, precious lazy "refugees", and other useless shit.
The aforementioned directionless, spineless cunts SHOULD be the first to go to a (defensive) war, but, obviously will be the last, given the choice.
>>32652057
we have lots of uranium

Nukes and a navy.

Is the lighter green in Antarctica territorial claims or something?
>>32654916
Depends what you mean by 'claim,' it's an external territory, but it's actively administered by Australia.
>>32646430
Better question is why anybody would want to step on this fucking nightmarish land.

Back in WWII the surrender of Australia would have been a decent bargaining chip for the Japanese in their bid for peace.

The landscape sucks balls for agriculture though. Low levels of soil nutrients pretty much everywhere, unpredictable rainfall and those vast flatlands you mentioned are generally quite salty and get saltier from a combination of periodic irrigation and drought.
Because these exist.
