Australia Sleeps on, While Nuclear Decisions are Made

Hardly a whisper in the mass media, as:

1. the Australian government moves to pass its National Radioactive Waste Management Bill – paving the way for Australia to impose a radioactive waste dump on Aboriginal land –  and who knows, on any land later on.

2. the South Australian and Federal governments move to approve BHP Billiton’s grandiose plan for the world’s biggest uranium mine and uranium waste tailings mountain

3. Western Australian company Lynas continues plan to process Rare Earths in Malaysia – following in the good old Australian tradition of putting toxic radioactive wastes in another country- preferably one with weak environmental legislation.   See below the effects of such an industry on the people of inner Mongolia.
