My question for the Minister representing the Minister for Defence, Minister Wong. The naval nuclear safety bill currently before the Senate allows Australia to take on radioactive waste from the US and the UK through the AUKUS deal, including high-level and military-grade radioactive waste. After many decades of nuclear submarines, the US and UK still have no solution to their nuclear waste. Is it the government's intention to use this power under the bill to take on foreign nuclear waste?
