By way of additional clarification, the NLC further responds below.

Senator LUDLAM (Western Australia) (18:48): Madam Acting Deputy President Crossin, this is a committee which you chaired, so I suppose it is fortunate for me that you are in the chair tonight, partly because it means you are less likely to heckle me! I think this is very important.

The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT (Senator Crossin): I hope that is not a reflection on the chair, Senator Ludlam!

ABC Radio National breakfast this morning with Fran Kelly -

The Australian Greens today vowed to continue the fight against the planned nuclear waste dump at Muckaty Station in the Northern Territory.

The Government has listed the National Radioactive Waste Management Bill for debate tomorrow. Greens Senator Scott Ludlam said Labor's attempt to force the Bill through the Senate before the completion of a Federal Court case over the status of the land in question was a disgrace.

Economics Committee Wednesday 19 October 2011

Senator LUDLAM: I would like to turn attention to the matter of the proposed Commonwealth radioactive waste dump. Has the department been involved? Do we have Mr Davoren here or anybody who can speak-

Mr Hoffman: We certainly do. He has been waiting around all day; we might as well bring him forward.

Senator LUDLAM: Welcome back, Mr Davoren.

Mr Davoren: Thank you.
