But would that actually make us safer or just make the region more dangerous?We look at why countries want nukes, what it would take for Australia to build one, and the legal, strategic, and practical barriers that stand in the way. From the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to AUKUS submarines, long-range strike capabilities, and autonomous defence tech—this is the story of how Australia already has powerful deterrence options without crossing the nuclear line.Watch to the end to hear Mel’s conclusion—and let us know in the comments:👉 Do you think Australia should ever develop its own nuclear weapons?00:00 Earth's Arsenal of Nuclear Weapons00:46 Setting the Scene02:15 The Case for Aussie Nukes03:30 The Legal Barriers05:14 The Practical Barriers07:48 The Strategic Barriers10:43 Alternative Weapons Australia Could Acquire14:14 To Nuke or Not To Nuke#nuclearweapons #australia #military---Like the 3D printed models in the background?
