Australian political parties’ policies on nuclear power and uranium mining

Well – you’d be hard put to find out about this.  I scoured the web to get anything up to date about this.  But no ! –  in spite of all the media rubbish going on lately about how great nuclear power would be for Australia –    no political party has a word to say about nuclear issues.

It seems that they think (even the Greens) that nuclear power is just irrelevant to the coming Australian election.

As for uranium mining – well despite its disastrous financial and environmental state, Australia’s mainstream media regards uranium mining as a great investment, terrific, we all love it

Indeed, the mainstream media does not cover nuclear/uranium issues as relevant.   Even the current radiation crisis at Fukushima is not relevant news.   (The ABC is an exception)  Hiroshima Day came and went, as far as I could see, it was ignored by the mainstream media.

If it weren’t for  Gem Romuld Outreach Coordinator International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons- Australia www.icanw.org.au  we just wouldn’t know about our election parties’ nuclear policies.

So, thanks, Gem, for taking the trouble to let us know about party policies on  nuclear power
