Antinuclear

Quiet progress of People for a Nuclear Free Australia

More than half the battle, in getting rid of the toxic uranium , nuclear power, and nuclear weapons industries, is in informing people, about the true nature of the dangers, and financial waste involved.

This is an uphill battle in Australia, as we head off  into Third World colonial status, pursuing the short term greed of the “resources boom” .  The major political parties are   subservient to polluting corporations.  The mainstream media is closely allied to mining interests.   Australia still has its cultural, colonial cringe – resulting in public ignorance and apathy about the nuclear issue.

People for a Nuclear Free Australia (PFNA) are changing this. By well planned educational materials, the facts are being placed before doctors and other professionals, trade unionists, and members of parliament. The Australian Electrical Trades Union has just produced an excellent film which  documents the health implications of uranium mining both to the miners and their families who live near the mines.
