An exception to the rule will be made for India, after Julia Gillard urged delegates at today's ALP conference in Sydney to modernise the party platform.
The Prime Minister said it was intellectually indefensible to sell uranium to China, but not India.
“Delegates, let's just face facts here,” she told delegates.
“Our refusal to sell uranium to India is not going to cause India to decide that it will no longer have nuclear weapons.”
Ms Gillard said the platform change was crucial to improving Australia's relationship with the growing economic superpower.
But Left powerbroker Doug Cameron directly challenged Ms Gillard on the issue, earning a standing ovation from supporters during an often fiery debate which was interrupted by anti-uranium protesters.
