Nuclear energy back from the dead after Fukushima

JOHN Howard didn't have Twitter to sell his bold call in 2007 to sell uranium to India - one of the last significant decisions of his prime ministership.

Julia Gillard spent a portion of yesterday on the popular social networking site explaining her broad rationale for coming to exactly the same view as Howard - just four years down the track.

When quizzed by journalists about the time lapse, Gillard explained it thus: if Labor had moved when it took office (instead of unpicking the Howard decision) it would have lacked perspective on critical international events, such as the bedding down of a bilateral co-operation agreement between the US and India.

Ferguson was the first of the government to go public with his view. In February, he told The Age India was not a rogue state; the uranium sales issue was a thorn in the bilateral relationship, and it must be fixed.

The nuclear crisis in Fukushima seemed to kill Ferguson's reform momentum earlier this year. But he, others in the government, and the broader labour movement persisted.

The right-wing conservative powerbroker union official Joe de Bruyn has been mollified by hastening very slowly on gay marriage and de Bruyn is on board with uranium exports to India.

The ''shoppies'' union boss expressed concerns about proliferation risks early this year, but told The Age yesterday his concerns had been assuaged.

And the Left, cranky about being done over not just on uranium, but on gay marriage, will look to extract its price - not just in the hooting and the hollering and the theatrics that will happen in Sydney.
