- No country would be truly safe if nuclear war went all the way. But Australia begins with advantages few others can match: nuclear-winter modelling favours its Southern Hemisphere location, it exports around 70% of its agricultural output, ranked second globally in the 2021 Health Security Index, and possesses by far the strongest defence capability among the most food-resilient islands examined. That is not immunity—it is a specific, measurable distance from the edge. ↗scienceblog.com · Recorded source date: Aug 28, 2026, 2:16 PM UTC
