Kevin Rudd (Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to my previous question to him and to the Prime Minister’s reference to his conversation with the former treasurer of the Liberal Party on his proposal to establish a company to build nuclear power stations. I refer also to the Prime Minister’s answer, as he reported earlier, to Mr Walker, when he said, ‘That’s a great idea, Ron.’ Could the Prime Minister confirm whether the company in question, Australian Nuclear Energy Ltd, was established on 1 June last year? Could the Prime Minister also confirm that he commissioned the Switkowski report to examine the future of nuclear power in Australia on 6 June last year?
