Australia close to deal to supply uranium to Russia:
Australia could be supplying the nuclear element to Russian reactors as early as next year, and a pact could be signed when Russian President Vladimir Putin visits Australia in September for a summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum.

Australia has become a whore who will sell her wares to any and all bidders. Also selling Uranium to India. Remember, this is the country that sold bulk Iron to Japan just before WW2 , only to have it returned as attacking planes and warships and bombs. Anything to be a "player" and maintain a high standard of living. Singapore now owns more Australian assets than the federal government, and the selling off of the farm continues, to maintain the governments huge budget surplus, so everyone is fooled into thinking how wonderful the governments economic policies are. History repeats. Shame.

Surely its cheaper for the Russians to mine their own ore, or atleast get it from their nearby neighbours.
