Nuclear Waste Dump

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:36): Will the Premier, or indeed the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, rule out any nuclear waste dump on Aboriginal land where the traditional owners do not consent?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (15:36): I thank the honourable member for her question. There is community consultation going on at the moment about even whether this is something we go further into. There are a number of steps before you would even consider possible locations. There is a lot of stuff to happen before that.
