Australia is party to the South Pacific Nuclear Free Zone Treaty (Treaty of Rarotonga) and implements its obligations under this treaty through the South Pacific Nuclear Free Zone Treaty Act 1986. The treaty prohibits States Parties from the manufacture, production or acquisition of nuclear explosive devices; research and development relating to their manufacture or production; the possession or control over such devices; the stationing of nuclear explosive devices in their territories; and the testing of nuclear explosive devices in the region
There's some really simple answers to so much of that debate. FIRST - The F111s we had for decades were capable of delivering nuclear weapons. There's a video here on YT of a cockpit tour of an ex-RAAF F111 and in it the guy points out the secondary nuclear release button. So our F111s were delivered capable of delivering nukes. SECOND - The Tomahawk missiles that we are now getting have been nuclear capable for years. The reason they weren't in service with nuclear warheads was because of the intermediate missile treaty that the Russians have recently torn up. THIRD - The real issue with nukes is not what it takes to use one. That's a reasonably straight forward task of dropping one or shooting one via a rocket. The real issue is getting a working nuke in the first place and then keeping it in working condition. The actual technology of refining the Uranium isn't that difficult either. The real problem is getting enough of the hardware needed without anyone else noticing to do the job. That's actually how we knew what the Iranians were doing 20 years ago. There's certain items like the motors needed for gas centrifuges (like the high speed motors) that if you buy a few dozen people wont think too much but when you buy 55,000 then people know exactly what you are up to.
