Anti Lynas campaign gearing up in Australia and Malaysia

On the 5th of November a Green ban petition on rare earths exports out of WA, with over 12,000 signatures was delivered to Mines and Petroleum Minister Norman Moore’s office in Perth

Lynas will now try and begin shipping its rare earths ore, that has been stock piled in Bibra Lakes WA to Malaysia to test run its controversial Rare earths plant – Lynas applied material plant (LAMP). Rare earths processing is one of the most polluting industries involving concentrated acids and other toxic substances in the process.

After September 5th when the Australian company Lynas Corporation were granted a 2 year temporary operation license (TOL), by the Malaysian atomic energy licensing board. The Save Malaysia, Stop Lynas group had blocked operation of LAMP through a temporary suspension of the TOL by the Kuantan High Court on the 10th of October, whilst two judicial review cases on the issuing of the TOL were pending.

Future Events & Actions:

We need your help to turn the LAMP off for Lynas Corporation and you can help make it happen. Please circulate the events happening in Sydney at the end of this month and if you are able to donate money to the campaign to help buil awareness in Australia, every little bit helps http://www.givenow.com.au/foelamp
