Australia does not currently possess weapons of mass destruction, although it has participated in extensive research into nuclear, biological and chemical weapons in the past. BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS Australia has advanced research programs in immunology, microbiology and genetic engineering that support an industry providing world class vaccines for domestic use and export.2 It also has an extensive wine industry and produces microorganisms on an industrial scale to support other industries including agriculture, food technology and brewing. The dual use nature of these facilities mean that Australia, like any country with advanced biotechnology industries, could easily produce biological warfare agents. |
