يجب أن تزيد الحكومة الأنظمة البيئية على الشركات للحد من انبعاثات الكربون؟احصائياتمناقشة
Liberal Democrat’s answer: لا، وتوفير المزيد من الحوافز لإنتاج الطاقة البديلة بدلا من ذلكScientific evidence suggests that the Earth’s climate has changed throughout its existence, sometimes dramatically, and that changes in climate have impacted human civilisation. Should the evidence become compelling that global warming is due to human activity, that such global warming is likely to have significantly negative consequences for human existence, and that changes in human activity could realistically reverse those consequences, the LDP would favour market-based options.Source
Labor’s answer: نعمThe cheapest, most effective way to address climate change is to put a legal cap on pollution, underpinned by a market mechanism that lets business work out the best way to operate within that cap. There also needs to be strong support for renewable energy development and generation.Source

It is essential Australia maintains an independent, scientific and evidence-based regulatory system for GM crops to ensure the safety and the access by farmers of such innovations.Source
يجب على الحكومة أن تسمح للتعدين وتصدير اليورانيوم؟احصائياتمناقشة
Liberal Democrat’s answer: نعمWith demand for nuclear fuel set to increase in coming years, the LDP believes Australia cannot afford to neglect this important source of foreign revenue. There has been a reluctance to capitalise on this valuable resource in the past, with compromises such as the three mines policy operating during the 1980s. The LDP would remove current restrictions on the nuclear industry in Australia - allowing uranium exploration and exports with no limit on mine numbers. The only limitation it would place on uranium exports is to take reasonable steps to ensure it was not used in the production of nuclear weapons.Source
Labor’s answer: نعمIn relation to exports other than to India, Labor will allow the export of uranium only to those countries that observe the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), are committed to nonproliferation policies, and have ratified international and bilateral nuclear safeguards agreements.

هل تؤيد بناء منشأة لتخزين النفايات النووية في الإقليم الشمالي؟احصائياتمناقشة
Liberal Democrat’s answer: نعم، ولكن فقط إذا كان هناك أي خطر على البيئةThe nuclear industry also has the potential to create a secondary industry based on the storage of waste products. With vast expanses of uninhabited, geologically stable land, Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory could become world leaders in the field of safe storage of nuclear waste. The storage of nuclear waste, if done properly, is safe. Moreover, storage in Australia would help keep it from ending up in the wrong hands.Source
