My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence. Australia is in the process of acquiring a fleet of eight nuclear powered submarines under the AUKUS agreement. As part of this agreement, Australia will be responsible for the management of spent fuel from the submarine reactors. Deputy Prime Minister, will this nuclear waste be stored in Australia? If so, where?
