Uranium mining is allowed in other States, it is inconsistent to retain the ban in Qld. Commercial realities will decide whether uranium mining actually occcurs, eg. after the decline in nuclear energy after Fujiyama. ALP has been wary of nuclear energy but this needs rethinking with need to reduce fossil fuels for energy generation, nuclear energy under appropriate safeguards can supply some (not all) of baseload requirements.

There's enough mining going on in Qld, there isn't a high demand for uranium and mining it is not particularly economical so it's would introduce another nasty mining product without good prospect of success

1. It's a silent slow killer of those exposed, and their offspring. This is known!! eventually liability will be proven, compensation will rightly be claimed2.storage of waste and the prevention of procurement of precursors for nuc weapons cannot be guarranteed so again liability will be sought3. We are the sunshine state, and looking very foolish when we seek to use non-renewable dangerous enerfgy sources instead ofall the free renewables. Of course, govts want to make money from exports despite the danger uranium poses(integrity NOT)

There are safe renewable energy sources to nuclear power so to mine uranium to sell for a profit is immoral. The permanent problems of disposal of waste, the dangers to workers mining uranium and the end result of nuclear weapons all point in one direction KEEP URANIUM IN THE GROUND!

Whilst the mining of uranium would continue to give a boost to Australia's minerals exports there is such a huge risk to the world from nuclear power. Japan have just announced they are going to phase out nuclear power.Until such time as we can be assured (not from lying governments) that nuclear energy is safe we should not mine uranium.

The state is already being torn apart by CSG and other forms of mining. There has been talk of opening up parts of the GB Reef to mining.Farmers are more and more beleaguered. I do not think the state needs yet another form of mining. Sometimes there are more important concerns than money.

Australia should make maximum use of its massive uranium reserves whilst it can and should enrich its uranium. There needs to be more public education on the subject to get away from "one flash and your ash" fears.  Rising powers in the world need certain sources of energy, uranium will be it.

The nuclear cycle is dangerous and unnecessary if we haven't learnt the lesson now from Fukishimna then there clearly is no hope. Plus uranium extraction is extremely expensive and carbon intensive and therefore is NOT a sustainable energy solution as the industry attempts to mythologise

There should be a ban on mining uranium in Australia.  Until a long term safe means of disposal of the spoils is found, until a safe way of using uranium, especially with fracking occuring all over now, there should be no mining or use of uranium.

The future is renewable, simple as that. Nuclear power perhaps solves some short-term economic problems but the cost of a single Chernobyl or Fukushima negates this value, not just for the country involved but for the region and related trading sectors which suffer the long-lasting flow-on effects. Similarly it is not good enough to say we do not want nuclear power on our soil but provide other nations with the means through uranium mining. This is immoral and short-sighted.

Only Qld and NSW oppose it, and NSW has no available ore. As a power source it emits no CO2 and has potential $300billion earnings. Safety in mining, transport and use is heavily regulated. Australia holds some 28% of world's available uranium.

Australian uranium is already being exported under Federal guidelines.  Queensland is missing out of a valuable revenue stream with the ore locked in the ground.  Regulate its sales, put in all the safeguards you want, but dig it up, and sell it.  Maybe we could have the debate about nuclear power for Australia while we are at it.  Surely it is time to consider using nuclear energy in Australia as it is used in other parts of the world - safely and cleanly.

Why not?  I just don't understand why we wouldn't try and take advantage of a resource we are lucky enough to have in abundance. It seems the decision to not allow Uranium mining is based solely on political ideals, rather than pragmatic reasons.  I have had enough of our elected officials making decisions that are more about them staying in office, rather than legitimate reasons.

If mining of any description doesn't impinge upon National Parks or prime agricultural land, it should be allowed to go ahead as we need the products being mined. Uranium, whether people like it or not, is essential for medical use and must be produced somewhere. Use of uranium for nuclear power should be discussed as Britain has been safely using nuclear power for many years now, but the discussion needs to include the safe disposal of waste before mining can begin. Do we have a sensible enough government to do all this properly?

I don't believe in the danger of CO2, but I do believe in saving gas & oil for industrial processes, & transport. Thus we should be using coal & nuclear for power generation, & nuclear should be powering our ships. The US navy has proved a bunch of half trained dills can run self contained plants without trouble.

I am NOT a Greenie, but I believe that Uranium should NOT be mined until the world finds a safe way to dispose of the very dangerous waste products.
