"Any nation that hopes to have a space program needs to be able to keep
an eye on its orbiting assets at all times. This means that Australia
has become a key link in the global chain of ground-based tracking
stations."

So Simon Driver, Professor of Astrophysics at the University of
Western Australia, makes the case that Australia really would be better
off developing its own space agency, and maximising the investment that
we've already started in supporting NASA and the ESA. We have plenty of
worthwhile land for space projects - hell, we're in the processing of
developing the SKA telescope over in Western Australia - and there are
plenty of commercial opportunities coming out of what is, currently, a
fairly hot sector once again.
I agree.
