My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Industry, Tourism and Resources. Minister, exactly what safeguards has the government negotiated in its deal to sell uranium to China, and when will you release details of the deal? Does this deal include any improvement in China’s poor management of security and safety in their existing nine reactors, found by the United Nations to be the worst in the world? Does it include China getting rid of any of its nuclear weapons or ratifying the comprehensive test ban treaty?
