Port Phillip Bay has been off-limits to nuclear (power or weapons) since either the 80s or 90s: maybe even earlier. The maritime unions won't deal with them and the State Gummints have not changed opinions except for Jeff Kennett who welcomed the USS Ohio in November 1992. In Victoria the Nuclear Activities (Prohibitions) Act dates from 1983 and remains on the Statutes today.
