It appears to me that much of the hostility towards Australia stems from our refusal to sell uranium to India until they sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Indians have been well-accepted in Australia for many years and now it seems that one Indian man, MR Singh, was most likely murdered by his Indian employees.

There may be some small lunatic fringe in Melbourne but my feeling is that some Indian politicians are unhappy with us for not selling uranium to them and are using this issue as a bargaining chip.

So why doesn't India join the nuclear NP Treaty? Because their troubled neighbours in Pakistan have nuclear weapons and they need a deterrent.

So why doesn't Australia make an exception for India, given that they are allies? If we make an exception for India then it would would undermine the Treaty, certainly our part in it, and make it diplomatically troublesome to explain and justify not selling to other nations who have not signed up.

A classic case of the rock and a hard place. This is a very difficult issue and one to which I can see no clear answer.

I think it is unethical that India is not able to develop nuclear weapons when it is the second biggest country in the world. It is absurd that minority countries such as France with such comparatively small populations should be allowed to have nuclear weapons when countries such as India cannot.

Well , as I see it we humans are racing to extinction so why not sell uranium to India. The playing field will be leveled just that much sooner . The situation has moved beyond the bound of ethics If the perils of climate change are not frightening enough what can bring us together as a species? Even an alien invasion would fail. There would be the pro alien and the anti groups. I am utterly disgusted with the way political leaders play with our lives .

I couldn't find any information about the reasons India does not want to sign the non proliferation treaty, although some kind of individual agreement has been made with the US from what I understand.
