Countries like Australia have neither an independent foreign or military policy and nor is their sovereignty in their hands. Australia is a totally dependent nation when it comes to defence and its economy. It lacks a scientific base that is advanced enough to allow them to develop aything more advanced than a remake of the Royal Enfield 303.

Australia imports science and scientists. If beers, sex, drugs and cricket could be the determinant in effective deterrance, Australia could be classified as a super power.
