Australia not to supply uranium to India

Hindustan Times reports Australia will not change its policy and will not supply uranium to India.

Australian Trade Minister Simon Crean told reporters in Canberra: “There is no prospect for a change. 
“We have consistently said, made this clear to India that we, because of our policy, cannot supply to countries that are non-signatories to the non-proliferation treaty,” the Australian Financial Review quoted him as saying. 

In August 2007, the government of John Howard agreed to sell uranium to India subject to the finalisation of a US-India nuclear deal and the conclusion of a bilateral Australia-India nuclear safeguards agreement.
