Antinuclear

Warren Mundine , nuclear lobby’s Aboriginal spin doctor, enters election campaign

Christina Macpheson, 10 August 13, Australia’s uranium-nuclear lobby must be ecstatic.   After all that Aboriginal opposition to their mines, and their nuclear waste dump plans, now their very own Aboriginal stooge has stepped in.  Warren Mundine, former  National President of the Labor Party, has well and truly jumped political party ship, to head a new Liberal party  indigenous advisory council .

Warren Mundine has an impressive pro nuclear record.   He has been promoting the nuclear industry , praising  nuclear energy,saying  that it is necessary for nuclear medicine. Most alarming of all, Mundine advocates the “full nuclear cycle”.  That means Australia not only having nuclear power, but taking in nuclear waste from overseas countries.

Mundine’s nuclear lobbying activities have been documented on this website several times.  He was appointed by Queensland Premier Newman  to the uranium implementation committee.  He is co-convener of the Australian Uranium Association’s Indigenous Dialogue Group,

There’ll be  a few Aboriginal people who will,not be happy with Mundine’s latest effort.  He’s been slammed in the past by  Noongar anti-nuclear activist, Marianne McKay of the West Australian Nuclear Free Alliance.

Warren Mundine is a Director of the Australian Uranium Association
