My thinking behind it is that the Americans will take over with their system assisted by HTG as they want to simplify the defense communications...so it is just Australia and the US...no third party. They not only want to deter Chinese aggression but are going to protect their own self interest strategic minerals ie rare earths, lithium etc that they dont have in abundance in the US. Anyway it is my thinking and others may see the connections.
