 Rhiannan Hubber Inglewood,       Australia  Petitioning Josh Leuenberger and 4 others By signing this petition, you can help prevent a Nuclear Waste Dump Site at Omanama, Queensland. Omanama is situated at the southern end of the Darling Downs, forms part of the Traprock area at the north west tip of the Granite belt. This area is of significant value for agricultural farming, meat & fleece sheep, beef cattle, goats and organic produce, such as Chickens, Olives & Plums. Omanama is at the head waters of the Mcintyre river system which flows into the nearby Coolmunda Dam, and then on to irrigate grain & cotton crops in the Goondiwindi Region and important Agricultural areas in between. Omanama is part of the Murray Darling Basin. The Coolmunda Dam is not only a vital source of irrigation, it is a tourist attraction for fishing, skiing & camping. The area supports many species of flora and fauna, some endangered. It is the last nesting strong hold for the Swift Parrot. Although Omanama doesn’t have a huge population in itself it is in close proximity to many important regional towns and cities. As the crow flys, from Omanama to: Coolmunda Dam is ONLY 8kms Inglewood is 22 km Stanthorpe is 67 km Warwick is 74 km Goondiwindi is 99 km Toowoomba is 112 km Brisbane is 197 km We are all entitled to decide the future for our area, our families & future generations, please sign & share.

  1. Scientists must dump nuclear waste in their own backyard first before pedalling their evil nonsense to human beings. Why don’t they buy an island or create one and go and live their with their toxic nuclear waste as an experiment for many, many decades or even centuries as PROOF that it is safe. Until this happens I remain unconvinced that a dump is needed or SAFE in SA.
