I seek leave to make a short statement about the previous vote.

Leave granted.

I thank the Senate. Family First acknowledges that the prospect of nuclear energy raises a range of concerns, including serious health issues. Family First shares those concerns but believes that it is too early to rule nuclear energy in or out as an option, when it is being used in many countries. Family First wants to see a full debate so we can fully examine the issues before ruling nuclear energy in or out. There are genuine concerns about nuclear power but it is too early to rule it in or out.
