AUSTRALIAN SENATE VOTES 54 TO 8 IN FAVOUR OF URANIUM MINING
6 ENVIRONMENT—URANIUM MINING
Senator Milne, pursuant to notice of motion not objected to as a formal motion, moved general business notice of motion no. 203—That the Senate—
(a) notes the Federal Government's intention to override the Northern Territory Government in pursuit of expanding uranium mining, announced on the eve of the 60th anniversary of the United States of America dropping the first atomic bomb, killing approximately 140 000 people in the Japanese city of Hiroshima;
(b) rejects the expansion of uranium mining because of its potential to cause grave harm to people and the environment, and the risk of Australian uranium being diverted to the production of nuclear weapons; and
(c) calls on the Federal Government to abandon the expansion of uranium mining and instead support the expansion of energy efficiency and renewable energy to address the challenge of climate change.
