The shortest, cheapest way for Australia to develop nuclear explosives and weapons would be to hire 1,000s of Israelis to build a "Dimona style complex" along with missiles of all types designed to carry nuclear war-heads. All of these activities could occur in Australia's ample desert areas (vastly larger than the Negev).
This would be useful in a future Australian nuclear deterrent situation where Australia is under medium-long term threat from the usual suspects:
A. China of course if Chinese expansionism did not stop at Taiwan. "Regional security analysts and Taiwanese officials warn that China's strategic ambitions would expand to neighboring Indo-Pacific nations, key maritime choke points, and global technological supply chains if Beijing annexed Taiwan. [1, 2]"
and
B. Suspects now include a continuation of constant aggressive American expansionist war making. Trumpism in the extreme aims at making Canada the 51st state and maybe Australia the 52nd.
Trumpism breaks traditional U.S. foreign policy molds by rejecting long-term military entanglements while simultaneously deploying aggressive, transactional, and extraction-focused force.
"Though early Trumpism was frequently characterized as "isolationist" due to its skepticism of nation-building and traditional alliances like NATO, the philosophy evolved toward what critics call a "new imperialism" or "nationalist interventionism". [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

The foreign policy framework of Trumpism can be understood across several dimensions:
Direct, Resource-Driven Force Over Long-Term Wars
Unlike the neoconservative "forever wars" or liberal internationalist "nation-building" interventions of past decades, Trumpism rejects prolonged military occupations. Instead, it favors hyper-kinetic, unilateral actions designed to achieve immediate, tangible economic or resource benefits: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
