Antinuclear

Nuclear Power and Public Opinion in Australia – theme for Sept 2011

Who really favours nuclear power?  Well, a minority of Australians enthusiastically support it. – careerists in the nuclear industry, careerists in politics, academia, careerists in the Murdoch media, highly paid uranium workers, communities that exist only because of mining, – (the latter can’t really afford not to support it)

Less enthusiastic Australian supporters are those who follow the good old Australian dictum
–  ”she’ll be right mate”.  You don’t need to think. You know that the “experts’ in the Murdoch media know best. It’s safest to support the Establishment. After all, there’s supposed to be money in uranium investing.  Very many Australians wrongly believe that BHP and Rio Tinto are ethical,  and are Australian companies.

BUT – even in Australia, land of the golden yellowcake investment dream, there is  a growing minority who
enthusiastically do NOT  favour  the nuclear industry. And they probably number many more  than the pro-nukes. Their numbers are growing, as information spreads about the diseconomics of the nuclear/uranium industry, and its global destructiveness.

As their  numbers grow they form part of a world-wide movement whose aim is to shut down this toxic industry – forever.
