I hear senators ask: ‘Where’s it going to be? Hasluck?’  They would not know a nuclear reactor if it landed on them, because it is simply a question that is not on the radar for them. But the government, on the other hand, is prepared to look at the interests of all Australians into the future. Over 300 reactors throughout the world are providing a reliable source of energy and are greenhouse gas free, and all the opposition can do is ask, ‘Whose backyard will have one?’ What a disgrace.
