National Party Policy Proposals (2006)

• Continuing the development of Australia’s mineral resources, including the mining and export of uranium under strict safeguards and nuclear non-proliferation controls.
• Supporting the development of a uranium enrichment industry in Australia.

Primary Industries

Australia's future development and wealth is heavily dependent on its ability to explore and develop its minerals and energy resources.

Security of land tenure is of paramount importance to these industries but is faced with the challenge caused by native title, environmental and property rights issues. The Nationals provide long-term policy certainty so the resource industries can plan and invest with confidence.
