The last time Britain nuked Australia

I remember that as a young kid. I was at my grandmother's house on holidays and both my grandmother and mother stopped us kids playing cricket in the backyard and made us come inside when it looked like it would sprinkle rain.

There was considerable fear about the fallout even though we were about 1,500 miles from the blast.

Incidentally, at the time the prime minister Robert Menzies who led the liberal party was exceptionally pro British. This warmongering bastard later introduced conscription that sent young guys of my age off to Vietnam—a war that we should never have been involved in.
