Inspired by this thread here regarding Japan.

With a POD after 1930, how could Australia be more adequately prepared for WW 2, and this is also working under the assumption that the traditionally parsimonious Australian attitude towards defence is relaxed.

How would the Army, Navy and Air Force evolve? One POD that I think deserves closer examination is if the RAAF selected the P - 36 or the Hawker Hurricane, instead of the NA 16, to be manufactured within Australia? Alternatively, the Wirraway project could develop as per OTL, but another fighter is selected for manufacturing in 1939? Now the Australians may not be able to get the plant and equipment for the Hurricane due to logistical constraints, but they could always look further afield and purchase the Curtiss P - 40?

Here is also another thread about an alternative Royal Australian Navy for reference.
