Government moves to use Atomic Energy powers for NT uranium leases
The Whitlam government proposes using the Atomic Energy Act to permit Queensland Mines Ltd to operate leases in the Northern Territory held by Peko Wallsendar and related interests to fulfill uranium contracts. The decision follows delays in Queensland Mines Ltd’s Nubarlek prospect and mirrors parliamentary action on Aboriginal land rights. The plan aims to authorize Commonwealth possession and allow exploration and exploitation under the government’s lead, with conditions tied to Aboriginal Reserve lands in Amheny Land and Northern Territory.
