Title
Description
test- [Senator Wright](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/sa/penny_wright) proposed a motion that the senate declare it is against the establishment of nuclear power plants in Australia and that the production of uranium for fuel presents a dangerous risk.
- The Senator claims that her chosen wording for the motion is taken directly from the [Australian Labor Parties](http://www.alp.org.au/) National Policy Platform, from which chapter 3, policy 230 reads:
- >Labor recognizes that the production of uranium and its use in the nuclear fuel cycle present unique and unprecedented hazards and risks, including:
- >* threats to human health and the local environment in the mining and milling of uranium, which demand the enforcement of very strict safety procedures
- >* the generation of products that are usable as the raw materials for nuclear weapons manufacture, which demands the enforcement of effective controls against diversion
- >* the generation of highly toxic radioactive waste by-products that demand permanently safe disposal methods.
- ###Motion:
- >That the Senate—
- >(a) opposes the establishment of nuclear power plants in Australia, based on the best available expert advice;
- >(b) recognizes that the production of uranium and its use in the nuclear fuel cycle presents unique and unprecedented hazards and risks, including:
- >(i) threats to human health and the local environment in the mining and milling of uranium,
- >(ii) the generation of products that are usable as the raw materials for nuclear weapons manufacture, and
- >(iii) the generation of highly toxic radioactive waste by-products; and
- >(c) rejects any efforts to move toward establishing nuclear power plants in South Australia.
