I think the main point was that the current Australian team are all roughly the same age. If they all retire at the same time they'll end up having a team full of 'international newbies'. They need to start brining in new players now (which they are doing) so by the time the current players retire there will be players in the squad with international experience.
But indeed if the current Australia A team is anything to go by, the future looks anything but dim for Australia.
