I ask whether or not the minister will confirm that this approval pre-empts that which is not yet sanctioned under Australia's bilateral uranium sales agreement with China and that it will require a future nuclear treaty with China, yet to be negotiated with China or put to this parliament's Joint Standing Committee on Treaties inquiry and thereafter to this parliament, that may not even be realised?
