Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. The government are not having a good day, are they? Can I also ask you to consider this: why is the government denying Northern Territorians any legal right to be consulted before a radioactive waste dump is established? Does this mean that the government are happy to ride roughshod over local communities to get what they want? Perhaps you could answer this, Minister: is this a sign of things to come under the Howard government’s plans for a nuclear Australia?
