Australia bans India uranium sale

Australia has outlawed uranium sales to India because Delhi has not signed the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

Foreign Minister Stephen Smith said the move fulfilled the new Labor government's election promise.

The move reverses the policy of former Prime Minister John Howard, who was voted out late last year.

Australia has 40% of the world's known uranium resources and exports the product to more than 30 countries under strict conditions.
