Disarmament Scenarios
Steps toward Abolition:
Ending Extended Nuclear Deterrence
Australia
The United States applied the doctrine of extended nuclear deterrence to Australia and New Zealand through the ANZUS Treaty of 1951. Since then New Zealand dropped out and now even bans U.S. ships with nuclear ships from its shores.
In Australia the 2009 Defence White Paper confirmed the nation’s continuing reliance on U.S. extended nuclear deterrence, stating: “For so long as nuclear weapons exist, we are able to rely on the nuclear forces of the United States to deter nuclear attack on Australia.” However, there is debate in Australia on whether this policy should be modified. Here are some references.
