I wouldn't put too much faith in this report. If Australia wanted
nuclear
weapons it would be far easier and cost effective to get them from
the US
rather than develop their own weapons.

Except that the US has never -- and proably will never -- export nuclear
weapons. Such exports are a clear and direct violation of the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty, whatever that's worth these days, and woudl be a
clear departure from US Policy back to the beginning of the nuclear age..
Even the Brits had to develop their own warheads to put on the missiles they
bought from us.

I'd agree with the overall assessment that this report is a load of ordure.
