Fire power

Prime Minister John Howard says he has an open mind on the development of nuclear power in Australia, which has 40 percent of the world's known reserves of uranium, and has called for a full debate on the issue.

Australia must be one of the world's top three most self-sufficient countries. It has everything from coals, to cattle, to human resource and it also the world's supplier for uranium.

I've always thought this was coming. They have it, so why not use it for their own peaceful purposes?
