The Honourable Peter Beattie

Premier Peter Beattie has ridiculed suggestions by Liberal leader Bruce Flegg that a new report on nuclear power commissioned by the Queensland Government is secret.

“I made reference to the ROAM Consulting report in a speech yesterday and it was available for anyone who asked,” Mr Beattie said.

“It was hardly a secret.

“I always intended to table it in Parliament tomorrow and it will be available on the Queensland Government website this afternoon.

“The issue of nuclear power in Australia is a serious issue that needs serious debate.

“Mr Flegg should try and make a proper contribution instead of grandstanding and playing silly games.”
