My question is to the Prime Minister. Is the Prime Minister aware that the Indian Prime Minister told his parliament this week that the US-India nuclear agreement does not in any way affect India’s right to undertake future nuclear tests? Is the Prime Minister also aware of a statement by India’s chief scientific adviser, saying:

Whatever reactors we put under safeguards will be decided at India’s discretion.

We are not firewalling between the civil and military programs in terms of manpower or personnel. That’s not on.

Prime Minister, given this, why has the government of Australia decided to sell uranium to India?
