My question is again to the Minister for Education, Science and Training. I refer to the minister’s last answer, where she asserted that there was no impact on the surrounding community and that it was under control despite a canister explosion at the Lucas Heights reactor last Thursday night. Is the minister aware that the Chief of Operations, Dr Ron Cameron, has informed staff, ‘A small amount of radioactive noble gases—xenon and krypton—was released through the stack’? Hasn’t the minister just misled the House?
