Prediction - Nuclear Weapons in OZ (one day)

In the rash of debate surrounding the sudden acceptance of Nuclear Energy in this country, it would seem that it's only a matter of time before we see our first commercial nuclear power station on native soil.

My prediction is that soon after, we will have our own nuclear weapons. Why? Because the pollies can't help themselves (particularly the RIGHT).

But why might this happen? Well, apart from the (already socially stable) Scandinavian countries that have nuclear power stations, I'd have it a guess that nearly all other countries with nuclear power now have the bomb (or trying to get it). It's surely a natural progression. You have all this lovely radioactive leftovers that you have to do something with, so why not refine it to grab that lovely plutonium and drop 'em into bombs.

By then the RIGHT will have us all in a sweat about our nearest neighbour so it won't take much to push the right buttons (and create fear) that will allow them to take that step.

So, let it be known that we weren't warned. Would you trust the pollies with a big pile of plutonium in their care? I wouldn't...
