Safeguards on uranium exports do not guarantee IAEA inspections & do not even apply to military nuclear facilities (eg, India & China).
It would require more money than exists on earth to pay the overtime for even just two staff to guard/manage radioactive wastes for the periods required.
The government's own Parliamentary Research Paper of 4/12/06 states that a nuclear power plant would require "up to 83% more water than for other power stations", ignoring uranium mining & milling, eg up to 155 million litres/day for the Olympic Dam mine expansion.
And electricity = just 36% of the global sources of GHG emissions anyway (International Energy Agency).
"Nuclear free future"? Nuclear power is essential to the power generation capacity of many countries and will be needed if we are going to effectively fight global warming. Alarmist policies don't get my vote.
Hi guys, Just wondering if you, like I do, believe that your poor showing at the last election is costing Howard this one? I know myself that the reason the GST went so smoothly is some of the changes the Democrats got to it. With out your challenge this last term, the Libs have had to much power and shot themselves in the foot with it. Best of luck and keep those bastards honest!

Wind is now cheaper than Nuclear.
And we can store electricity by a variety of methods
