Throsby MP Stephen Jones says he will vote against lifting Labor’s current ban on exporting uranium to India at the party’s conference next month.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard wants to change Labor’s uranium exports policy, which only allows exporting it to signatories of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.
She says selling uranium to India would strengthen Australia economically.
However, Labor left faction convener Stephen Jones has told ABC’s 7.30, that he opposes all uranium exports and will be arguing against it at the conference.
“I’ll be taking the concerns I’ve had for around 20 years on this and that is that we should not be adding to the stockpile of weapons-grade uranium throughout the world by exporting our uranium out of Australia,” he said.
The secretary of the South Coast Labour Council, Arthur Rorris, shares the concerns expressed by Mr Jones.
Mr Rorris says the labour council has a long held position of opposing nuclear proliferation.
“The last thing we need is the proliferation of things which we have seen only this year to have such tragic consequences at Fukishima and that’s just the peaceful use, let alone the other cycle of the nuclear industry which involves the nuclear arms industry,” he said.
