Queensland Premier Anna Bligh says uranium mining will not be allowed in the state under her government.Earlier this week, Federal Resources Minister Martin Ferguson said it was inevitable that uranium would be mined in Queensland.

Ms Bligh says she made a promise at the last election not to allow uranium mining and she will not be breaking it.”It’s not like coal, or nickel or zinc,” she said.”This is a material that is used for a range of very serious and violent purposes around the world.”
