    I’ll be sad that a lot of people died.

    Assuming I wasn’t already hit before Melbourne. Perth has a Naval base, an Air Force base and SAS barracks. It’s a legit military target.

    Edit: just realised I didn’t reply to the question. Oops! No wonder people were confused.

      Nath are you talking about our hypothetical hydrogen bomb scenario or do you know something that we don’t?

        Well the question was about what I’d do if Myer in Melbourne CBD were hit by a nuke. I’m 3,000km away, that wouldn’t affect me.

        On the other hand, Perth has half the population, and a bunch of military assets. It’ll probably be targeted before Melbourne. The first targets won’t be the biggest population centres, it takes a round or two for people to justify just killing civilians.

        It’s a good week for it. Summer has just started, mid to high 30’s all this week.

      Alice Springs/Pine Gap is a big strategic military target
