Senator Chapman, will you rule out, as a senator for South Australia, supporting a nuclear facility in South Australia? Senator Minchin has refused to do so. You are refusing to do so. Senator Abetz refuses to rule out a facility being established in Tasmania. Now we have Senator Watson—against his party’s position, apparently, if Senator Ellison’s contribution is correct—saying, ‘We deny leave’—for a motion to be moved which simply endorses the existing law in Australia. The government is all over the place when it comes to nuclear power.
