Strongly agree

Yes, but only if exports go to countries which have signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty

The Australian Labor Party has often supported uranium mining and export with conditions, such as ensuring that the uranium is used for peaceful purposes and not for nuclear weapons. This is in line with their support for the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. For example, in 2012, the party voted to allow uranium sales to India, a non-signatory of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, but only with strict safeguards in place. Therefore, they would likely strongly agree with this statement, hence the score of 4.
