23 Feb 2012 NEW SOUTH WALES LIFTS 28-YEAR URANIUM EXPLORATION BAN Citing “enormous profits” and job opportunities, New South Wales Premier Barry O’Farrell has overturned a ban on uranium exploration in the Australian state. “We want to be part of the boom. The first step is to establish the size, quality and location of any potential uranium deposits in New South Wales” said the Premier. With the overturning of the uranium exploration ban in New South Wales, the state of Victoria is now the sole remaining Australian state with a moratorium on uranium exploration. Queensland allows exploration but mining is still banned.
