Legal action likely against Muckaty nuclear waste dump
that was the largest demonstration in the history of Tennant Creek,
Lawyers confident over Muckaty legal challenge, ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation), By Katrina Bolton 7 April 2010 Lawyers planning to challenge a waste dump at Muckaty Station near Tennant Creek say if what they have been told is correct, they should be able to have the decision overturned.
George Newhouse was one of three lawyers from around Australia who met traditional owners in Tennant Creek over the weekend.
Some traditional owners say they have a claim to the land the Federal Government is considering, but were not consulted about the site’s nomination.
Mr Newhouse says a lot of people came to protest against the nuclear facility.
“I would have to imagine that was the largest demonstration in the history of Tennant Creek,” Mr Newhouse said……He says the lawyers are most likely to try a challenge in the Federal Court and would be seeking an injunction.
