Wait, you mean as the US does in Hawaii or Alaska, don't you? Bwaha, ah, you had it coming.

Nah, I don't think there's any serious logistical issue. It's all a matter of budget allocated to research programs as usual here.
You make me thinking, I believe there was a time when France's relations to Australia and New Zealand were tense because of some nuclear tests around the French territorial waters of New Caledonia, but that's an old forgotten story.
I guess they would cooperate with the French whenever we'd ask for their help nowadays.
I mean they're the friends of pretty much everybody, including France.
