Dear …….

As the Federal Election approaches, I would like to know what is your position on the nuclear issue.

The 2015 National Policy Platform states:

Labor will:

Vigorously and totally oppose the ocean dumping of radioactive waste;
Prohibit the establishment of nuclear power plants and all other stages of the nuclear fuel cycle in Australia;
Fully meet all Australia’s obligations as a party to the NPT; and
Remain strongly opposed to the importation and storage of nuclear waste that is sourced from overseas in Australia.

The South Australian Labor government t is promoting a move to import nuclear wastes. In view of this, the National Labor Party will surely be re-examining the national policy.

Before deciding on my vote, I need to be sure of Labor policy on this issue.

Please tell me:

Will you vote to keep the present Labor policy as above, or will you vote to change it?

Yours faithfully

Signed ….
