My question again is to the Minister for Industry, Tourism and Resources. Has the minister had discussions with any representative of Australian Nuclear Energy Ltd, or not?

I would welcome a discussion from this company, and I would like to see Australia have a debate on nuclear energy and where it fits into our future energy mix. Of course, any proponent of a nuclear power station in Australia would need bipartisan support from both sides of this House before they would invest their money in a power station. So I would like to have the meeting and I would like to have the debate.
