Note, I said "If a situation develop where Australia has to choose..."

If neutrality is an option, that might taken, yes, although I'm not sure it would be. But I was talking about a situation where things have developed to the stage where a clear choice has to be made.

For example, a war.

Unless (and this seems vanishingly unlikely) the United States acted aggressively and started such a war, I am convinced Australia would choose to side with the US in that type of situation.

Aye, but that wouldn't happen. China would attack Taiwan and then, I wager Australia would stay neutral.
