Beazley's uranium policy optimistic: Albanese. :

"The Federal Opposition's environment spokesman has stepped up his criticism of the Labor leader, Kim Beazley, over the party's uranium mining policy.
Mr Beazley wants Labor to scrap its ban on the development of new mines but wants stronger safeguards on uranium exports.
Labor's environment spokesman, Anthony Albanese, is opposed to the change and says he will fight it.
He has told Channel 10 there are direct links between uranium mining, the nuclear fuel cycle and nuclear proliferation.
'The difference that is there is that Kim is saying that you should allow new uranium mines with stronger safeguards and that allows us to have a great global influence,' he said.
'I think that's optimistic.'"
