No, I never said that. You have missed what I have said, and I have said it very clearly. Expanding uranium mining and nuclear power generation do not go hand in glove, my friend.

The fact is that, if the government were prepared to invest in renewables in the way they ought to be prepared to invest in renewables, we would not even be having this discussion.
