Wrap up of the week’s antinuclear news – Australia
Please Donate: help produce a remarkable new documentary. For the first time ever, Antinuclear Australia asks you to help fund something – a mind blowing new documentary film. by Frontline Films, by award winning film-maker, David Bradbury.
Radioactive waste dump. Aborigines legal battle continues, against nuclear waste dumping at Muckaty Station. Public Health Association of Australia says it is not needed for medical wastes. Liberal M.P. Andrew Thomson wants Australia to import and store radioactive debris from Japan.
Liberal and Labor parties getting indistinguishable from each other. They voted together for the waste dump. They voted together to support Australia buying USA nuclear submarines – and then they voted together again to reverse that vote! Liberal Party praising Bob Carr for his being pro nuclear. It’s a mutual admiration political society. They also agreed on the importance of the Nuclear non Proliferation Treaty (NPT) – but both still happy to sell uranium to India (a non signatory to the NPT) Victoria. With the rhineros hide of a man “born to rule”, Premier Baillieu ignores the economic and job prospects of renewable energy for Victoria, and prevents new wind projects, while forging ahead with dirty brown coal.
Lynas – Australian rare earths corporation still much in the news, and getting more so, as it is an election issue in Malaysia. And did they agree to return radioactive wastes to Australia?
ANSTO – in the poo for having bullied their employees, in order to shut them up about radiation and health concerns.
