Talking Nose Wheel Brakes

I was just talking to my sister on the phone from Oz, who was telling me that (wrongly reported of course) a QF 74 had a "Nose Wheel Brake Fire". I then exlained to her that this was impossibe, because aircraft do not have nose wheel brakes. Her question was "OH Why not". And I could not answer, because I dont know, I mean ..well..they just dont....!!!!

So, please, can some of you in this forum, who know a lot more than me, explain why we dont have nose wheel brakes?

Thanks in advance.
