Western Australia’s new Labor leader might change uranium policy

Ripper to stand down as WA Labor leader in favour of McGowan, ABC, Radio National A.M. David Weber , January 18, 2012

withhold approval for uranium mines.

That’s a very hard policy to uphold…. http://www.abc.net.au/am/content/2012/s3410113.htm
