What I find appalling about the minister's answer is that this is about having industries and manufacturing go ahead, yet we put stipulations on: no coal, no gas, no forestry and no nuclear. Well, what the hell are we doing, then, in our country to create industries in manufacturing? What are we going to do about our nuclear medicine? We have medicines in Australia that are connected with nuclear, so what are you going to do about that? That's been going for a long time in Lucas Heights. You are signing up to the Greens. You really need to answer these questions about where you are headed with nuclear in this country. Are they the tail wagging the dog?

There is a question I'd like to ask. Before, Minister, I asked you about the people on this list. Who will be on this list? You said the department has a list. Well, I'm asking you: if I got former senator Patrick to get me the list from the department under FOI, would he be given the list? Are you going to present the list? If I make an FOI request on it, will you give me the list that the department or the minister has of the people on the list?
