Commonwealth land is best for Australia’s radioactive trash, not bribed Aboriginal areas
The Australian government has absolutely no moral compass. Never mind that they boast about the inhuman condition they impose on refugees – so they can “stop the boats” – and other heartless policies.
But this page is “anti-nuclear”. So – what about their latest cybnical ploy – “allowing” Australian s to “offer their land” for a radioactive trash dump?
This is exactly like their welfare provisions that the government claims are aimed at “all Australians” – but we know damn well that the target is the Aboriginal communities.
The Abbott government (with Labor support no doubt) is determined to make the Aborigines cop the radioactive trash that Australia is obligated to take back – it originated from the Lucas Heights nuclear reactor.
Never mind that studies years ago found that there were suitable sites on Commonwealth land.
Muckaty’s heroic Aboriginal women resisted the pressure.
Can we expect impoverished Aboriginal communities to resist government bribery? Do Australians care?

This is the “civilised” world’s idea of “cost-benefit” analysis. Those who benefit least make the biggest contribution to the cost. Those who bear the cost of “progress” get token and often misdirected “compensation” – a one size fits all formula. “If we, the people who caused this problem, would be overjoyed at such benevolence then so should you.”
Those who created the problem, who have the necessary expertise to manage the problem, should do so and not foist the problem onto someone else. If the experts can’t manage the problem in their own backyard how do we expect others to do it for tens of thousands of years?
Like asbestos, the cost of exposure to nuclear waste is priceless.
