Professor Ian Lowe writes in The Conversation (26.11.14): ‘Behind the flag-waving and cheers surrounding Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit to Australia are serious questions about the safety and security implications of Australia’s agreement to supply uranium to New Delhi. When he inked the uranium deal in India in September, Tony Abbott praised India’s “absolutely impeccable non-proliferation record”. He refused to answer questions about alleged serious deficiencies in India’s civil nuclear sector.’
