My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. I ask the minister firstly: does the government welcome cooperation between the United States, United Kingdom and other nations to speed up investment in next-generation, zero-emissions nuclear energy technologies? Further, Minister, I draw to your attention a statement from the UK Labour government, in which it said of the agreement signed between the UK and the US that it is also expected to be signed by Australia. Can the minister inform the Senate whether Australia will or will not be signing this agreement with US and UK partners?
