Media statement: Australian uranium good enough for India but not us
Labor’s energy hypocrisy has ramped up this week in a new deal between Australia and India, allowing greater exports of uranium to support growth of nuclear energy on the sub-continent while forbidding the proven, emissions-free technology at home.
One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson said that while Australia’s energy security was going backwards under Labor’s reckless pursuit of net zero by 2050 solely with renewables, India planned to produce 100 gigawatts of nuclear energy by 2047.
“India plans to produce three or four times Australia’s entire electricity output from nuclear technology alone, splitting Australian uranium atoms to achieve this goal,” Senator Hanson said.
“Labor’s energy hypocrisy knows no bounds. They ban nuclear energy in Australia but happily export uranium for this purpose overseas.
“They are shutting down our coal power plants while exporting it to other countries. We’re facing gas shortages and Labor is banning gas appliances, yet we export huge amounts of it.
“In the meantime, Labor is destroying rainforests and native habitats in Queensland – and invading farms in Victoria – to build giant wind turbines and thousands of kilometres of new transmissions lines.”
Senator Hanson said One Nation would lift the ban on nuclear energy in Australia and build a 1400MW advanced pressurised water nuclear reactor in New South Wales.
“It makes no sense for Australia, with more than a quarter of the planet’s proven uranium reserves, to ban uranium mining in three states and ban nuclear energy altogether,” she said.
“We’re even supposed to be buying nuclear-powered submarines, but we can’t have nuclear-powered cities, towns and critical industries.
“Our demands for reliable, affordable baseload energy are only going to increase. Renewables cannot possibly meet this demand. Nuclear power is used safely at more than 450 sites in 28 countries, and more reactors are being built around the world as we speak.
“We cannot afford to be nuclear hypocrites any longer.”
🟠 #BREAKING ALBANESE HANDS MODI OUR URANIUM, OUR GAS, $500M OF YOUR SUPER AND A FREE ISLAND, WHILE NUCLEAR POWER STAYS BANNED FOR AUSTRALIANS 🟠
Gina Rinehart offered FREE leases on Crown land to bring Elon Musk's SpaceX to Australia. She was torn apart for it.
Anthony Albanese just gave India's space agency a site on the Cocos Islands, no payment ever disclosed, to applause.
Modi flew home with our uranium, guaranteed LNG, $500 million of Australian retirement savings and 3,000 work visas a year. Australia got a promise to talk trade faster and a cricket match in Chennai.
Uranium just cracked US$100 a pound. America, France and Japan were queueing for it. Labor sold it to a country that buys Russian weapons, refused to sanction Moscow and will never fight for us. And the same nuclear power now fuelling India stays banned in your suburb, by Labor's own law.
One Nation's Malcolm Roberts is the only one in the parliament swinging. He put it straight on Chris Bowen: "Chris Bowen and Labor won't even have a conversation about nuclear energy. Talk about hypocrisy!" And his warning for the rest of us: Labor is happy for power bills to keep rising and our standard of living to keep falling.
We broke the entire deal down in one table, row by row. What India gets. What Australia gets. India's column is full of fuel, gas, money and visas. Australia's column just promises and a party we paid for.
Whose side is Labor on?

The last few weeks have been big.
An exclusive conversation with Rupert Lowe ahead of his appearance on Rogan this week. Big cross-platform numbers.
We're sure we'll start to see coverage about our numbers and probably questioning if we'll continue this growth.
That's cool, it's expected – we'll just keep building this show and giving our audience more of the conversations they want to hear.
Thank you legends, appreciate the support. And we'll keep working hard.
Anthony Albanese has been urged to publicly apologise after making crude jokes about the Japanese Prime Minister's "melons" despite previously declaring it was "completely unacceptable" to objectify women.

Australians PM Albo has disrespected Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.
Albo joked about her sex/gender, confirming Japan’s PM is a ‘she’ & said she’s ‘got a couple of melons’ as he made hand gestures at his chest.
This is extremely inappropriate, disrespectful & insulting.
This is not how a man that is supposed to represent a nation should behave.
On behalf of Australia, I apologise to Japan for the behaviour of this rude little man that only 1/3 (30%) of Australia actually voted for.
Albo does not represent Australia or the Australian people.
He is both a disgrace & embarrassment to us all.
Great to see “difficult” Grace Tame calling out Albanese’s derogatory and misogynistic objectification of women
Oh wait, what? Tame stayed silent? She only calls out the right? Again???
$15 billion = 15,000,000,000 was stolen by the CFMEU in Victoria
From 4.1 million taxpayers in Victoria
So $3658 was stolen from every single taxpayer in Victoria, to fund organized criminals at the CFMEU, who fund the Labor Party
And now Albanese has announced he’s giving Victoria another $4 BILLION. Do you see the problem yet?
Albo couldn’t wait to jump on the cancel Karl bandwagon.
Now Karl has fired back - rightly pointing out the PM lied to the people yet still gets to keep is job.
One man condemned for speaking freely and honestly.
The other lies to the entire Nation and stays in power.
The sheer hypocrisy of it all is astounding.
