THE prospect of US missiles being stationed in northern Australia is again being discussed - and no one is prepared to rule out the weapons being based in Darwin.
At a ministerial meeting on Sunday, Defence Minister Linda Reynolds quizzed newly appointed US Defence Secretary Mark Esper about reports America wanted to station missiles in Darwin.
"I did discuss it yesterday with secretary Esper and he confirmed that there was no ask of Australia and none was expected," she told ABC Radio National on Monday.
