I will not prolong the debate much further. I am interested in the issues that Senator Ludlam has raised. I come back to the questions I raised in my speech in the second reading, to which the minister responded, ‘Well, look at the ALP website and you will see what it is all about.’ I just had my staff check on the ALP website in my home state of Queensland, which is where I first looked, it being the home branch of the Prime Minister and the Treasurer. When you click on the website it says that this is secret; you have got to be an ALP member to do it. It says that you are not authorised to look at this site but, if you want authorisation, contact the membership officer, join the party and then you can look at what the uranium policy is in the state of Queensland. Having come to a blank wall there, Parliamentary Secretary, perhaps—it is a pretty simple policy—you can just tell me what the ALP policy on uranium is and what policy the Queensland Labor Party, along with the South Australian Labor Party, will be adopting. I guess it is pretty simply policy.
