Will be great to see Australia join the space launch community, it should gain a strong local market, and hopefully encourage others to join in. I think Australia would be a good third site for a SpaceX factory and launch facility as well.

I believe SpaceX can't build sites outside of the US because of ITAR regulations.
I seem to remember that Elon talked about having a landing pad for Starship in Australia. And the recovery operations for Starship start from Australia.
Yeah, that is a problem. Australia has traditionally had good relationships with the USA, so I think if anywhere can achieve it, maybe SpaceX could get the paperwork sorted.
Pretty sure it is simply illegal. No matter the relationship.
Remember when the DoJ tried to sue SpaceX for not hiring foreigners (discrimination), while it is illegal for SpaceX to hire foreigners because of ITAR?
