No, unless it was HIGHLY restricted and regulated, with high royalties that DIRECTLY benefit the Australian taxpayer.

 @B3VT9GBanswered…1mo1MO

Only to countries with existing nuclear infrastructure. We should discourage the building of new reactors.

 @B38RCK7answered…2mos2MO

Yes, taxed at a much higher rate for an Australian Sovereign Fund and only to countries who have signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty

 @B2F9ZZ7 answered…3mos3MO

Yes, and we should national all of our mining so that we can bring down rare metal prices as well as fuel prices and choose how much we export. Australians should get first pick of our own resources

 @9ZTPDVManswered…5mos5MO

Yes, but only to friendly nations and not to those with a history of using such resources for nefarious methods.

 @9ZFK6PHanswered…5mos5MO

We should keep the uranium for ourselves and use them for the development of fission based nuclear energy plants.

 @92H33WCanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes mine it but don’t export it

 @92GD3Z3answered…3yrs3Y

No, we should be investing in more renewable energy sources such as electric cars

Iran Mourns and Celebrates: The Complex Legacy of President Ebrahim Raisi

Known for his brutal crackdowns against political opposition, Raisi's passing at the age of 63 marks the end of a controversial chapter in Iran's history. His tenure was marked by a harsh stance against dissent, earning him the moniker 'Butcher of Tehran' and making him a polarizing figure both within and outside of Iran.In the wake of his death, reactions within Iran have been mixed. While some mourn the loss of their leader, others have taken to the streets in celebration, viewing his passing as a liberation from his oppressive policies. Women, in particular, have been vocal in their relief, with some expressing their joy over his death as a form of retribution for the suffering endured under his rule. The stark contrast in reactions highlights the deep divisions within Iranian society and the intense emotions Raisi's leadership has evoked.Raisi's legacy is a complicated one, characterized by his role in the suppression of political freedoms and the violent quelling of protests. His death leaves a vacuum in Iranian politics and raises questions about the future direction of the country. As Iran navigates this transitional period, the world watches closely to see how the nation will reconcile its tumultuous past with the possibilities of a new beginning.The international community has also been keenly observing the developments, with many human rights organizations expressing hope that Raisi's death might lead to a more open and democratic Iran. However, the path forward remains uncertain, with concerns about who will fill Raisi's shoes and whether they will continue on his path or steer Iran towards a more moderate course.As Iran grapples with the legacy of Ebrahim Raisi, the coming months will be critical in determining the country's trajectory. The world remains hopeful that Iran will seize this opportunity to move towards greater freedom and justice for its people, leaving behind the shadows of Raisi's reign.
