Ian Macfarlane (Groom, Liberal Party, Minister for Industry, Tourism and Resources) Share this | Hansard source

Can I correct the Leader of the Opposition, who has already made his first mistake of question time. I share nuclear energy with the Minister for Education, Science and Training. We work very closely together on this, of course, with the Prime Minister and the rest of the cabinet. We will not play the Leader of the Opposition’s little game. What we want first is a debate based on facts, not fear. We want people to be given the opportunity to discuss this matter in a bipartisan environment.
