South Australia election: Malina Wyra for Fisher opposes nuclear power

Dennis Matthews, 14 Mar 14 Another candidate for the seat of Fisher in tomorrow’s (15/3/14) SA state elections has opposed the importation of nuclear waste into SA.

Malina Wyra is not only opposed to nuclear waste import but to nuclear power, uranium enrichment and the entire nuclear fuel chain.

Malina supports the solar feed-in tariff and government incentives for energy efficient homes but does not support a higher tariff for users of air conditioners and is n oncommittal on the whether solar electricity exporters should pay higher costs for the electricity network and whether there should be tighter regulation of the monopoly electricity network utility. Malina prefers to tax the up-front cost of air conditioners.

On the issue of the recent changes to the SA Electoral Act, Malina supports increasing the cost of nominating a candidate from $450 to $3000. This has been a significant deterrent to independents and micro parties contesting seats in the House of Assembly but is generally welcomed by those candidates and parties that are assured of getting at least 4% of the primary vote and hence getting the $3000 returned.

Malina was non-committal on an apology to SA’s Aboriginal people for forcibly taking away their land, for imposing an alien culture, for introducing toxic substances into their communities, and for the lack of aid in combating the effects of the above.
