Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. In view of the government’s lack of due diligence in regard to nuclear facility safety and nuclear waste management, as exemplified by the government’s answer, can the minister explain why the government is meeting Russian officials and nuclear industry representatives this week to negotiate the necessary arrangements to facilitate the export of uranium from Australia to Russia? When does the government expect to conclude the export agreement, and how many and which countries will access Australian uranium via Russia as part of this agreement?
