I wouldn't say the "ideology" was quite the same.
Australia does have a research nuclear reactor (and is in the process of building a new one) and mines & exports a lot of uranium. I am also told (and this is just hearsay from my ex RAN cousin) that our military is set up to deploy US nuclear weapons on aircraft and guided missile frigates should the unlikely need arise. These are things that NZ would never countenance, so I think the ideology differs a little.
But I take your point, we are always ready and willing to make a buck out of US ship visits (or just about anything else). :)
Ah, no, Australia does not have the same ideology about nuclear power as New Zealand.
Australia doesn't use nuclear power but we're not as obsessed about the nuclear issue as the Kiwis are. We have a functioning nuclear reactor just a little outside Sydney, and even though we don't have any nuclear weapons, methods of acquiring them if we ever need them have been part of our strategic thinking since the 1950s and still exist today. We don't have them because we don't see a need for an independent deterrant in our current strategic environment.
The left in Australia, and especially, of course, the greenies have some problems with the nuclear issue - but even their position isn't as extreme as that of New Zealand.
To an extent, I actually understand the New Zealand position - I don't agree with it, but there are factors operating in New Zealand that are not as major an issue here.
