Aboriginal groups demand better consultation on nuclear waste dump plan

Alliance to campaign for more consultation sessions Nuclear dump protesters warn of ‘cultural genocide’ in South Australia, ABC , 17 May 16 By Claire Campbell “……Yankunytjatjara Native Title chairperson Karina Lester said the alliance would campaign for more community consultation sessions, particularly in regional areas.

“We do want to see work being done in the interpreting and translating area as well because this is very technical … in particular those who still speak their first language,” she said.

“I think we need to continue to make noise that we are not feeling supported in this, in this decision making process and that we need to be involved.

“The South Australian Government need to really be listening to what Aboriginal people but also the wider group are saying about this very important issue.”

The Government is preparing a response to the commission’s final report which is expected to be presented to SA Parliament by the end of the year.

It plans to randomly select 400 people to sit on citizens’ juries to consider the state’s approach to its nuclear future.http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-05-16/nuclear-dump-protesters-warn-of-cultural-genocide-in-sa/7419406
