Annex Australia

I'm peitioning the US to Annex Australia for the following reasons:
1) Current US/Aus security relationship is good but could be improved by integrating ASIO/ASIS/FBI/CIA into 1 central entity
2) Resources. Currently our natural resources are being under sold/valued. We can at least rely on people who know what they're doing
3) Another regional power will make a play for Australia anyway, might as well be the US
4) Lack of leadership in Australia. That could change with the White house in power
5) Similar cultures.
6) Evac zone. Australia can prove useful should American main land needs to be evacuated due to natural isolation
7) Trade benefits to both countries. While one country sleeps, the other works.
8) For Australians, the Queen hasn't done much for us lately
