As a Brit, I can't let that pop at us go. While I don't agree with the testing of nuclear weapons at all, I would point out that the UK detonated those weapons - presumably - with the consent of the Australian government of the time. In that case the stinking Australian twits were just as guilty as the stinking British ones.
The British were wrong to test nuclear weapons in Australia, indeed
anywhere for that matter, and so were the Australian government of the day for letting them.
