Antinuclear

As usual Nuclear Waste crisis is NOT covered in the Australian news media

As the Australian government rushes to impose a nuclear waste dump on the Northern Territory, (against Northern Territory law)  the Australian media chooses to see this issue as about gay marriage.

Euthanasia, gay marriage fears over Greens bill, Sydney Morning Herald, 4 March 11, “…….The Greens bill proposes to remove the ability of a Commonwealth minister to veto laws passed by a territory government.Instead, both houses of Federal Parliament would have to agree to a veto, making territory laws more difficult to overturn…….the bill had the potential to pave the way for euthanasia and gay marriage.”

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Gillard is off to the USA to talk with US administration about what?  Will the USA’s nuclear waste dilemma be discussed?

The USA nuclear waste problem has been swept under the carpet by a curious new rule from its Nuclear Regulatory Commission. This is the “WASTE CONFIDENCE RULE” – which argues that the problem is presently unsolved, but the NRC has faith that it will be solved some time later, thererfore new nuclear power can go ahead?  (Even the Pope, who is infallible, might blush to make such a statement) – Christina Macpherson
