Fed:Labor to sell uranium to India
Australian uranium will be sold to India after the Labor party overturned its long-standing ban.
The ALP's national conference in Sydney backed Prime Minister JULIA GILLARD'S plan
to overturn the party platform's ban on exports of uranium to India.
The final vote was 206 to 185.
Ms GILLARD says she is very happy with the result, adding she thought it was a good
debate and the right decision.
She says the sale will be based on a new safeguards agreement and India's commitment
to global nuclear agreements other than the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, which it
has not signed.
