Senate inquiry in to waste dump will not even go to the area
holding it from Darwin and from Canberra is a good way of staying a long way away from where the people are genuinely the most angry and have the most to lose
Senators urged to visit planned waste dump site – ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation), 15 March 2010, The Greens say a Senate inquiry into the Federal Government’s proposed radioactive waste management legislation will not visit the site of the proposed dump.The only location the Government is now considering is Muckaty Station, near Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory.
Greens Senator Scott Ludlam says the Senate committee will hold hearings in Canberra and Darwin, but not in Tennant Creek.”The Senate inquiry is going to be one rare and very important opportunity to take evidence directly from the people who are most affected by the decision that the Government has made,”
Senator Ludlam said.”I think holding it from Darwin and from Canberra is a good way of staying a long way away from where the people are genuinely the most angry and have the most to lose.”He says it is a slap in the face for the people of Tennant Creek.
