f it was a nuclear war limited to the Northern Hemisphere (eg: Russia vs USA), the Cold War predictions were Australia, NZ, the bottom of South America & the bottom of Africa would escape any major effects from the fall-out.
A war between the US and Russia could kill 360 million people initially, and starve a further five billion people in two years.
It’s very unlikely that you’d have a major nuclear war in the southern hemisphere
The paper also points out that there would likely be a refugee influx to Australia and New Zealand from nearby nations that can’t support their populations.
