The likelihood of Australia being invaded these days is next to zero unless we want to start throwing missiles around...likelihood of that is also zero.
I think we need a decent Navy and Airforce and stop worrying about everyone elses fights.
I would like to believe the international community wouldn't sit if there was a serious invasion on any one of the major nations soil.
Coming to get us would be a massive undertaking and its not like they are going to randomly come under the cover of night.
