Antinuclear

In uranium-producing Australia, beware of governments bearing gifts

Could it be that the Australian and South Australian governments are getting just a little bit rattled, about their slavish devotion to the uranium/nuclear industry?

Goodness knows, the mainstream media are doing everything they can to help them. Nary a word about the scandalous betrayal of Labor policies and promises on nuclear waste dumping in the Northern territory.

Nary a word about the crumbling uranium price, the stalled Olympic Dam mining. and very little on BHP Billiton’s alleged involvement in corruption.

Meanwhile the South Australian government seems to be aiming at enhancing its green credentials, with environmental grants.  Or could it be that they would like the organisations receiving those grants to just shut up about the environmental degradation caused by uranium mining?
