My question again is to the Minister for Industry, Tourism and Resources. Is the industry minister aware that the director of Australian Nuclear Energy Pty Ltd, Mr Hugh Morgan, stated on 12 July 2006 that ‘to put together an internationally managed repository’—meaning nuclear repository—‘would bring great standing in the international community for Australia’? Does the minister agree with Mr Morgan? Has the minister ever discussed this proposal with Mr Morgan? And will the minister rule out a global nuclear waste dump for Australia?
