Howard's intentions on uranium mining are known. And now Beazley has again made his intentions clear. Currently, uranium explorers with tenements in Northern Territory and South Australia will be the stocks with the least political risk.

This is all URANIUM positive at least until the April 2007 Labor Party meeting.

Beazley looking forward to party uranium debate
Federal Opposition Leader Kim Beazley says he is prepared for a strong debate on Labor's uranium mining policy at next year's federal party conference.

The South Australian Labor Conference at the weekend deferred debate on the issue, rejecting a push from the left faction to continue the current "no new mines" policy.

Mr Beazley says he will be advocating that the party's stance needs to be economically responsible at home and morally principled abroad.

"The policy I'm putting to the federal conference will match both of those things - how we are a responsible exporter of uranium," he said.

"I'm fully well aware of the fact that there are people in the party who disagree with me and I'm quite cheerful about that fact - we'll have a decent debate about it."
