Antinuclear

Uranium for China, disadvantage for aborigines

Christina Macpherson 9 Sept 09

Today’s news mix shows where the Rudd government’s priorities lie, and where they get their policy from.

I guess that the uranium mining companies designed the new uranium royalties bill. After all, everybody knows that the commercial nuclear power industry is in terminal illness. Also the uranium industry could collapse almost instantly, in the event of a nuclear accident. Therefore, let’s rip off the aborigines now, while the going’s good, and too bad, if the industry all goes sour for them later.

Only in nuclear weapons dictatorships like China is the nuclear industry more secure. As government and Ziggy Switkowski delight in China’s uranium appetite, the uranium salesmen conveniently ignore China’s nuclear weapons buildup.

And with the help of the mainstream media, the Australian public sleeps on – “She’ll be right, mate”. But will she?
