Antinuclear

Australian news, and some related international items

Why is Australian media not covering the Radioactive Waste debate in the Senate?

Yesterday the Australian Senate debated the National Radioactive Waste Bill – the transcript of this goes for 20 pages. http://wopared.parl.net/hansard/senate/latesthansard/shansard.pdf  I understand that the debate is continuing today.

Wading through those 20 pages, I can find only the intrepid Senator Scott Ludlam asking the questions that all Australians should want to know, about this.

I must conclude that there is  a cynical nexus of complacent agreement between Australia’s media, corporations, Liberal and Labor Parties –  in the interests of the nuclear industry – to just keep it all quiet.  So the Senate, Lib-Lab creature of the corporations, can just pass this momentous and unjust Bill to open up Aboriginal land to nuclear waste.

Perhaps, further down the track, it will be easy for the greedy people who want a nuclear waste import business to follow through on this.  While we, the Australian public, remain ignorant of this threat to Australia’s future .
