Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Is it the case that the minister at the table here, or the minister he is representing, is expressing a personal opinion or a formal position of the government? Given it would appear that Mr Macfarlane has moved to a further stage in suggesting it is the intention of the government to develop nuclear energy, can the minister indicate to the public where the nuclear reactors will be built and where the nuclear waste, whether it be high level or intermediate level, will be stored?
