It's only been a few years since India was "pardoned", and Australia is just one of many potential suppliers. The broad point is, the entire world uranium market is open to India, which was not the case until recently. India's preexisting nuclear strategy is no longer valid.
Here's another sale: a settled Russian deal to supply uranium for a Russian-built VVER reactor, for its entire lifespan. (Admittedly the implication is the uranium deal is somehow tied to the Russian reactor sale, which is somewhat limiting). Not much politics here! (Not much politics in Russia either).
yes, the russians will on-sell to anyone:
its probable that australia's decision to supply russia, while not as politically charged, was a greater proliferation hit than any future decision on india :(
