After watching the video, split class into three. Make up the house of representative complete with government, opposition and a few independents. The government want to introduce Nuclear Power to Australia. What would the discussion in the Parliament House of Representatives look and sound like? Representatives will have to nominate a Prime Minister, Leader of the Opposition and the few independents. You will need to brainstorm in your groups what you should to present the opinion of your party and put this onto an etherpad under the heading 'FOR NUCLEAR POWER' (Etherpad 1) or 'AGAINST NUCLEAR POWER' (Etherpad 2). Independents can wander the room in and listen to what groups have to say.

In order to prepare yourselves for this 'parliamentary discussion' use the following links. <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">**GOOD LUCK!!**
