Chipp threatens to vote against government over uranium issue
Former Liberal minister Mr Chipp warned he would oppose the government if debate on the uranium issue is stifled. He moved an amendment urging a two year moratorium on mining and exports to allow more research into nuclear risks and alternative energy. Leader of the Federal Opposition Mr Whitlam backed the amendment, saying Labor would not be bound by new contracts and would implement the Fox report spirit. Sir Mark Oliphant, retiring Governor of South Australia, said he opposed building nuclear power stations in Australia though not necessarily mining and exporting uranium.
