Australia doesn't have nukes because they don't want them, not because the US told them not to or promised to use them on it's behalf. it's so historically uninterested that it doesn't even have a nuclear power industry.

I don't think you did any investigation before posting that, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_and_weapons_of_mass_...

Australia didn't need a nuclear power industry during this era, it was a major coal producer and nobody cared about emissions.

I don't understand your point? Nuclear testing occurred in Australia but not by Australia.
