Pakistan has not signed the non-nuclear Proliferation treaty, so Australia will not sell anything to pakistan that could be used to make nukes. It's the same with India.
The Indians wanted uranium but they have not signed the Proliferation treaty, so they won't get any.
Australia is committed to helping the world get rid of ALL nuclear weapons.
Lets find an alternative source for such equipment. It is Austrailia's loss and not ours.
It's not actually Australias loss. It's not like this sale will hurt the company involved. Also you will find alot of other countries will refuse to sell pakistan this equipment because they have not signed the non Proliferation treaty.
I don't see why people are thinking this is some sort of personal attack on pakistan.
Australians do not allow any kind of Nuclear fuel for export.
Australia will sell uranium to any country providing they have signed the non Proliferation treaty.
Australia HATES nuclear weapons, hence why they have non of there own and are commited to getting rid of them around the world.
The Aussie govt. is a real nut job. They denied India nuclear fuel inspite of the fact that it was approved by NSG. Well as they say, when one door closes.....
The government isn't a nutjob. They have a set of principles that they follow and that the australian people support.
Australia is against nuclear weapons, if you have not signed the non Proliferation treaty.
you will get nothing nuclear, even if you say its for nuclear power.
Well last time i checked we already have WMDs Maybe the Australian Government doesn't know it.
Oh Well Australia is already declining.With killing of Indian Students in Australia it's Education Industry is being destroyed and it's Mines are one by one being sold to China.What else they have left?
Yes you already have WMDS and yes the Australian government knows it. But WMDS require maintence. Yuo can't just build some and they last forever. The ICBM that carries the nuclear warhead would need maintence, the warhead it's self would need maintence. After about 10 years, the nuclear fuel would need replacing because it has lost strength.
Also you say "killing of Indian students" one Indian student has been murderd, it's not like it's a regular thing.
As for their mines, the majority are still owned by Australian companies.
And you ask what do Australia have left? A hell of a lot is the answer. It's obvious you have no understanding of Australias situation or economy.
Australia is the only devoloped g20 nation not to have a recession. Australia is booming.
