Australia says will not sell uranium to India (but can we believe this government?)
Australia remains firm against sale of uranium to India, The Hindu, AP March 19, 2010
Any Australian uranium sales to Russia would meet non-proliferation requirements, but the government remains firmly against sales to India, Trade Minister Simon Crean said on Friday.
The government on Thursday rejected a 2008 parliamentary report’s recommendation that Australia not proceed with an agreement to sell uranium to Russia.
The report expressed concerns that the uranium could be stolen or diverted for weapons use.
The government said it has not yet made a final decision on whether to ratify the agreement, signed in 2007 by former Prime Minister John Howard and Russian President Vladimir Puton, who is now Russia’s prime minister.
