Why does Israel get to keep its nuclear weapons?

Umm...Doctrines aren't written on paper. Unlike treaties. To put it simply, they are more like a plan. Or something the plan is based on.
So unless you're basically saying that the uncivilized states don't intend to follow their own plans, your statement makes no sense.

Also I'd rather not get into debating who's civilized or what civilization means because that's moot, and usually ends with arguments which are little more than 'mine is bigger than yours'.

Thanks for the lesson, I wasn't aware of that

And you are right about the second part as well, note however that I rank India FAR above China in that regard *India is still not IMHO quite up to European standards*

They number 1/3 of the world's population. European countries numbering in a dozen million are failing at life and everything else, so I'd cut them some slack.

So why doesn't Australia have nukes then? If all these other nations need them, why don't the majority of the worlds nations not have them?

If all these nations do but don't intend on using them at great cost in production and maintenance. It would seem they have a bunch of white elephants.

Australia doesn't need any to make its local wildlife any more ... 'interesting'.

Besides, you already have the Uranium mining ...
