I would like to say briefly that Labor is supporting the Democrats’ amendment and shares the concerns that we have heard in the chamber today about the absolute policy incoherence that is occurring in the area of nuclear debates. We share the concerns about where nuclear waste facilities might be proposed. This is an important amendment that helps to secure a clear policy position about the conditions under which ANSTO will manage or store high-level radioactive materials. On that basis, Labor is supporting the amendment.
