Uranium mining shareholders unaware of problems
Christina Macpherson 16 Sept 09
Mega uranium is to start operations in Western Australia, with some funding from the WA government
Commenting on this Federal Minister for Resources and Energy, Martin Ferguson, said that Australian was “committed to mining uranium with safe hands and only supplying uranium to countries which use it with safe hands”.
But just how safe is Mega?
Mega Shareholders
Megames, African September 15, 2009
Are the shareholders aware of the loses incurred by the public officers because of negligence :1. US$ 35,000 (LOSS) – Legal Fees – Lost court battle in SA and Mega Uranium subsidiary was liquidated
2. US$ 54,000.00 (LOSS) – Cash in bank – Mega Uranium subsidiary was liquidated
3. US$ 246,000.00 (LOSS) – Drilling Machine – Mega Uranium subsidiary was liquidated
This equates to a loss of more than US$ 335,000.00 LOSS which is a lot less than creditors were owed in SA for which Mega Uranium refused to settle.
So is this the way shareholders funds should be used?
Pro-nuclear Paul Howes seeking safe parliament seat
Union man may want my seat: retiring MP
Sydney Morning Herald September 15, 2009
Retiring Labor MP Julia Irwin has hinted that the leader of a major union may be gunning for her safe western Sydney electorat.She suggested Australian Workers Union national secretary Paul Howes, an advocate of nuclear power, may be planning a parliamentary career.”While any seat might do, he will not doubt be salivating to have a safe Labor seat, built up by another, with a margin like that of Fowler,” Ms Irwin said in a statement on Tuesday.
But Ms Irwin, a critic of Israel, said she did not expect a “constructive contribution” from Mr Howes on foreign policy, “or any other policy for that matter”…………………
Mr Johnson told parliament on Tuesday of a “courageous” speech Mr Howes had made in support of nuclear energy……………….
Ms Irwin, who was elected to the House of Representatives in 1998, announced on Monday she would not be contesting the next election.
