Australia won’t sell uranium to India, says Julia Gillard

NEW DELHI - Australia’s Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard Monday reiterated that her country will not sell uranium to India as it is yet to sign the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT).

Our decision was not aimed at India. As a principle, we don’t sell uranium to countries that have not signed the NPT, Gillard told reporters here.

Several Australian authorities have already said this on earlier occasions after India and the US signed the civil nuclear agreement last year.

Endowed with a sizable quantity of the world’s cheaply extractable uranium, Australia is a big exporter of the mineral. India needs uranium for its civilian nuclear reactors.

Flavion, I was talking about Australia and Australia only. Because I have brought all my hard earned money to Australia and Australia only. Not any where else. What I said about the South Australian Government policies is 100% true, without any doubt. I don’t understand why without understanding you started protecting them. Do you have any evidence for protecting Australian Governments. Yes, I do have and of course will present it in the International courts but not to you.
I know you must be one of the faithfulls of curropt politicians in Australia. Don’t you.??
Any way my time is now quite pracious and it won’t effect Julia Gillard and any else too. As, this is been going on on and even with all but not many aussies understand how they have been cheated by Labor Governments.

I think it’s very unfair that so many Indians seem to want to make dreadful accusations about Australia, and Australians, and obviously don’t feel the need to back up what they say with any evidence.

Let’s remember, an awful lot of Indian people have led prosperous and successful lives in Australia. Purushottama Bilimoria, Indira Naidoo, Mathai Varghese, Gorur Harinath. In fact, most people lead successful and prosperous lives in Australia.

As for those who’ve immigrated to Australia and failed to prosper, they are fully entitled to harbour complicated theories involving the government and police all being in conspiracy against them. I would just urge people to take what they say with a grain of salt.

If I wanted to, I could find plenty of well substantiated evidence of extensive corruption in India. I think the problem here is that some Indians are pointing their fingers at Australia but really talking about themselves.

Australia is no doubt a Highly Racist Country. It’s not only for the students from other Asian Countries but even Businessess become the regular targets of the racissism in Australia. The most of the involvement in all these activities is these corrupt polititions. All this happens only and only because of this Unprofessional, Dishonest and Negligent Labor Governments. I migrated with my family sponsored by The South Australian Government from Dubai. My purpose of Migration to Australia was to get my son educated and do business and create jobs for Australians and live a quality and peaceful life.
That has not been the case in Australia. My target was for 10 years to live here and do business here with total honesty. I brought lot of money to this country and invested in my business, now it’s my eighth yere here I was suppose to make if not more atleast 6 to 7 Million Australian Dollars but instead of all the hard work, all the worries to me and my family I have lost all most all.All this is only and only because of South Australian Governments for their dishonest, unprofessional and negligent attitude to ward businessess here. I have kept writing to all these Labor Governments in Power up to the Prime Minister and always been neglected. I have requested for a corruption commission in my case and neglected too because all these charges will be laid on the Labor Governments only. They know all this very well that because of them only I have lost my confidence and all my money but they just keeping ignoring. Any way I am not the person who gives up. I will fight to any extent. I have decided to leave Australia once for all, show all the documents certified by Engineers etc, Labor Governments Ministers appologies and all the paperwork proving their dishonesty etc. etc..to the Australian and International Media and my website under construction with all the documents and photo’s of my projects etc. etc.. loaded showing to all the public about how the Businessess are been blackmailed and exortion and criminal acts on their children etc. etc..Police instead of protecting the victims go hand in hand with criminals.
I have said all this again and again and sever times not only to the concerned departments of the Governments but also the copies are sent to the Ministers, Premier and also to the Prime Minister and still no response.
I advise to all before you even dream of comming to Australia for study, live and work pleae for God sake think not twise but hundred times.
This has been in very short, it could have been a book on my unfortunate and bad experiences.
