One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has accused Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's Labor government of hypocrisy after it signed a multi-billion-dollar deal to export Australian uranium to India. Hanson argued that it made no sense for Australia to supply nuclear fuel to other countries while banning nuclear energy and uranium mining domestically, framing it as part of a wider pattern of Labor "energy hypocrisy". The dispute matters because it reignites Australia's long-running debate over whether the country should lift its ban on nuclear power.

The agreement was confirmed during Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's three-day visit to Australia, with Albanese saying it formalised an administrative arrangement enabling uranium exports "for peaceful purposes" under the 2015 Australia–India nuclear co-operation agreement. Hanson noted that Australia holds around one third of the world's uranium reserves — including the world's largest known deposit at South Australia's Olympic Dam mine — yet bans nuclear energy under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Act 1998. She also criticised Labor for closing coal plants while exporting coal, restricting gas domestically while exporting it, and clearing habitat for wind turbines and transmission lines, and pointed to the apparent contradiction of buying nuclear-powered submarines while barring domestic nuclear power.
