India-Australia nuclear agreement back on track

...

Australia holds 31% of the world's uranium resources. It is behind only Kazakhstan and Canada in production of the yellowcake. The India-Australia nuclear agreement will be consistent with Australia's agreements with Russia and China for supply of uranium. One of the key conditions will be that India utilize the uranium for peaceful purposes.

Relations with India are a priority for Australia alongside its focus on China, Japan, South Korea and Indonesia. The new government is committed to stronger trade and investment ties with India. Canberra is seeking Indian investments in the mining and resources sector. Sucking said Australia wants stronger cooperation with India in infrastructure, education, agribusiness, biotech, pharmaceutical and IT sectors.

Besides, it wants to beef up defence cooperation with India. The bilateral navy-tonavy exercises will be held in 2015. There are converging interests with regard to situation in East Asia and terrorism.

Well hey, why not just have India take over Australia altogether.

Australia needs to get itself some nuclear weapons, and plenty of them.
Instead of going around signing nuclear non-proliferation treaties, it should be signing purchase contracts to buy nuke-powered and nuke armed submarines and ships...or build them itself.

Australia has nothing with which it could fight a war.
That must change.
