Nuclear Waste

In reply to the Hon. M.C. PARNELL (24 July 2018).

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer):

I have been advised by the Department of Treasury and Finance that there have been no discussions between officers of the department and either the federal Minister for Resources, or commonwealth officials, in relation to infrastructure funding for South Australian communities in locations under Commonwealth consideration for the future potential storage of nuclear waste material. I am also unaware of any other discussions between commonwealth and State-based departmental officials in relation to this matter.
