No it's not a red herring to divide the ALP. Some in the ALP have admitted to me that the Uranium debate was lost with the 1977 election. It is a genuine debate on the future of uranium mining, reprocessing and the building of nuclear power plants in this country. The latest generation plants are quite capable of replacing coal fired, and would be very useful in those parts of Australia which do not have extensive coal reserves.
The SMH has been running some articles on this over the last few days. The latest is here:
