You don't have enough money to nuke up, unless you plan a much bigger defense budget.

Really ? Australia has the 13th highest GDP in the world.

Higher than Israel, Pakistan and North Korea which all have them.

You'll also need missiles capable of hitting your adversary, and you won't find much help building them cheaply.
