I vaguely recall from my research back in Australian hist in uni a cable in 1 collection of Australian foreign policy documents- from early 1942- which stated that Churchill was prepared to send to Australia 2 British Army divs (the 2nd Inf Div & 8th Armd) to assist in Australia's defence, in the event that the returning AIF divs were diverted to Burma or India. Now, WI the British army had indeed been able to spare some manpower to help defend Australia during that time of dire crisis after the fall of Singapore ? How would Empire relations have been affected ?
