South Australians urged to vote for anti nuclear candidates

Dennis Matthews, 12 Mar 14 Given the on-going economic, environmental, social, health and safety disaster at Fukushima there can be only two excuses for supporting an expansion of the nuclear industry in South Australia, either you have a financial or ideological investment in the nuclear industry or you haven’t been as vigilant as you would like to be.
The Fukushima disaster happened three years ago but the situation is by no means under control. South Australia’s contribution through uranium mining at Roxby Downs and Beverley is deplorable and should not be compounded by further excursions into this inherently dangerous industry.
Uranium export helps arm the nuclear weapons nations of the world. The escalating confrontation between nuclear armed Russia and nuclear armed USA over Ukraine is fuelled by uranium from South Australia.
The March 15 state election is one chance in four years to make a strong statement to our politicians by voting for those candidates who are unequivocally opposed to an expansion of the nuclear industry in South Australia. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.
