We've been very patient over the years but this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reset the rules for the River Murray and we're determined not to squander that opportunity.
spent trying

We know that defence work results in more than great defence hardware - it can drive innovation and advances in all areas of our life.

Obviously any export of uranium to India could only occur within an appropriate international framework to be negotiated by the commonwealth government.
