Scullion backs shorter nuclear dump inquiry
CLP Senator Nigel Scullion has voted with his party to shorten the timeframe for an inquiry into the Federal Government's nuclear waste dump legislation.
The Senate has approved an inquiry into the Government's Radioactive Waste Management Bill but it will wrap up by the end of this month.
That gives the Senate committee less than three weeks to scrutinise the laws.
Territory Labor Senator Trish Crossin says it is not enough.
'For people to put in a submission, for people to actually appear before the committee, and for the committee to actually take the evidence it needs to take from scientists,' he said.
Senator Scullion has been under pressure to cross the floor and oppose the laws situating a nuclear waste facility in the Northern Territory."
