LOL, why do you think that? Because you are trying to develop nukes which has led to the U.S and most other countries to focus on you? Irans actions resemble a nosy child who tries to attract attention of his parents by breaking his toys.
No... because unlike Australia, Iran wasn't a penal colony. We have 5000 years recorded history. anyways, I don' think if I should state all the reasons for why we are important, any relatively educated person should be able to figure that out by themselves, if you are unable to do so, then please get an education.
About the nukes, firstly our nuclear program is entirely peaceful and secondly, we do what we have to do, in my opinion we should develop nuclear weapons and use them to defend our country if necessary, however that decision is not up to me nor are our national objectives any of your concern (No offence!).
And please have some originality! By the way you communicate, I don't even think you're an Australian "native" if that's what they want to call themselves nowadays!
LOL. Hilarious. You have been indoctrinated so much that you honestly believe your country is some rich and powerful country. You are obviously ignorant of Australia otherwise you would know that Australia is 3x richer than Iran.
Indoctrinated? Do you even know the meaning of that? Technically you are being indoctrinated by local and international media (everyday) without even knowing, you're being indoctrinated when you watch an advertisement that makes you believe you should buy a certain cosmetic product to make girls like you more, you're being indoctrinated when you are forced to believe that latest model of certain brand of smartphones makes you look cool!
I'm not ignorant, I look at the facts and statistics mainly from your own government:
Minerals Basics - Geoscience Australia
I'm sorry having too much coal and diamond, won't fuel your car!
Iran is extremely rich in natural resources, however Iran's mineral sector is greatly under-invested.
Not considering Iranian mineral resources, I'm going to give you an estimate of current worth of our oil reserves (based on $90 per barrel): $123,840,000,000,000,000 (that is excluding our gas reserves.)
Australia is 3x richer than Iran
Australia is the 12th largest economy in the world. (Iran is 23)
Australia controls 83% of the worlds uranium
Australia has an estimated 30 Trillion dollars worth of natural resources
Australia is a member of the UN security council
1- I already gave you a very comprehensive answer.
2- Iran was ranked 16th two years ago, under economic sanctions, so being 12th while your politicians have the tendency to suck up to the big boys is really nothing to brag about!
3- Proven Uranium...
4- Oh really?! Our oil reserves alone have an estimated worth of $1.2384e+13
Unlike Iran, we are a peaceful country that is not interested in aggressively invading or attacking other countries in a desperate attempt to be seen as "powerful"
Lol what?! If that's the case why you're buying so many weapons?
Procurement programme of the Royal Australian Navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Preparing for the next Kangaroo invasion? (I really love the Kangaroo jokes
They never get old!)
And that last sentence (although you didn't use period) goes to show your ignorance, Iran never invaded any country in over 200 years! Australia in meanwhile tried to look tough by sending troops to two countries (Iraq and Afghanistan) over 10 thousand km from its borders! It appears your hypocrisy knows no bounds?!
Your opinion, but the fact is we are a sovereign nation and Britain has no control or authority here
No its not my "opinion" officially Queen Elizabeth has sovereignty over Australia! Don't they teach you that in your schools?
Noch... noch... noch!
So China and Russia are not independent nations for being on the Security Council? Keep in mind that the country you called a "backwater insignificant british colony" will now be making and delivering global sanctions against your country
Oh my god, now I have to go through WWII, Cold War and China-U.S. struggles?! Sorry, I don't have time to do that, its a very, very, very long story!
And by the way, I should have stated this in my earlier post, Australia is not a permanent member, among your buddies over there you could find countries (!) like Azerbaijan! Does that sound like an advanced country to you? A corrupt dictator, ruling over a country full of poor people! You must feel proud when the Australian representative sits next to his counterparts from Guatemala, Rwanda, Togo and etc...
We are descendents of European people, so i think it does qualify us.
Yeah... if you want to put it that way the human race originated in Africa, therefore we are all Africans!
I'm sorry, but Australia is in the Eastern hemisphere!
She is bigger than Rupert Murdoch, she is the richest woman in the world.
Yes... she has a lot of money, while she is very rich, she doesn't have as much influence as Rupert, but she is getting there, and Rupert Murdoch is her role model!
