My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator Faulkner. In today’s first national security statement to the parliament, the government identified climate change as a ‘most fundamental national security challenge’. Why then does the government refuse to export uranium to India under International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards, which can both cut India’s greenhouse emissions and meet 35 per cent of its future energy needs?
