Senator LUDLAM (Western Australia) (15:49): I seek leave to make a brief statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator LUDLAM: Before we commit this to a vote, with greatest respect to Senator Day, it is presently illegal to build nuclear power stations in Australia, and it is presently illegal to import high-level radioactive waste, or spent fuel, or reprocessing wastes from overseas. I respectfully suggest that Senator Moore might like to have a quiet word with some of her South Australian colleagues, who appear to have wandered off the reservation. The Greens will be opposing this motion for the very fact that the nuclear industry is basically a dead industry walking. Wherever you look in the world, the industry is going out the back door fast. I do not see why we would tie the South Australian economy, or any other part of the Australian economy, to the most expensive, risky, time-consuming, polluting, downright dodgy, electricity generation method. The most insane way of boiling water that has ever been devised— Senator McKenzie interjecting— Senator LUDLAM: Senator McKenzie, that would be misleading the Senate. It is very important, and I agree with Senator Moore— (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: The question is that the motion moved by Senator Day be agreed to.
