Friends of Omanama: A local community’s perspective on national nuclear waste storage
https://www.facebook.com/Friends.of.Omanama/ Public Meeting: Friday 12th February 6:30pm McIntyre Sports Centre Chilcott Street, Inglewood
Presenters include:
Dr. Colin Owen – a local GP
Local speakers on the social, psychological, environmental impacts…
Video on nuclear medical waste & ANSTO’s safety record (Dr. Peter Karamoskos, MAPW)
Members of the Inglewood/Omanama community have voiced their overwhelming support for a chance to hear the ‘Other Side of the Story’ when ‘Friends of Omanama’ host an open function in the MacIntyre Sports Centre Inglewood tonight.
The function is designed to give a balanced presentation of facts about the Regional and National consequences if Omanama (21 kms east of Inglewood) is chosen as the site for Australia’s National Nuclear Waste Management Facility.
In November 2015 Omanama was announced as one of six sites short listed to accommodate the facility. Since then, the community has been bombarded with Government press releases, Radio and TV interviews and Government-convened public meetings, consultations and meetings with individual local organisations. As a result many locals have said they feel confused, intimidated and anxious about the future. They have said they need to know more about the other side of the story.
‘Friends of Omanama’ Co-0rdinator Dr Colin Owen said the function was designed to inform the community about the Nuclear waste Dilemma and for everyone to hear a Community perspective on concerns, as opposed to the Government agenda.
Regardless of their views on the subject every member of the community is welcome to attend the function. The evening will conclude with a free sausage sizzle.
