Why doesnt Australia manufacture nuclear weapons like India when it has largest deposit of Uranium?

Question

Is it financially weak to manufacture weapons like India?

Answer 1

Australia does have a strong economy for only 21 million people. They are for nuclear weapon disarmament and I believe have cut down on uranium mining for environmental reasons.

Answer 2

Why would they need to ?  any threat of nuclear attack would be deterred by the british nuclear arsenal.  our armed forces british and australian still serve under the queen. just look at the austalian navy, they are all called HMAS ..........   (her majesty's australian navy)

Answer 3

Probably because it takes H2O which as you know is in short supply.  And what the dude above me said...

Answer 4

Answer 5

The community attitudes are largely against nuclear anything, power or weapons.
