Antinuclear

 Is that correct?

 MS MARSH: Because I’m an elder I am classed as a leader as well.

JUROR: Yes.

MS MARSH: Yes. So I am speaking for Adnyamathanha people. JUROR: So you’ve had consultation with the rest of the elders there? 5 MS MARSH: Yes, and with the native title group, the native title which is the Adnyamathanha Traditional Lands Association, and they oppose the radioactive waste dump on Adnyamathanha land as well. So I am comfortably speaking on behalf of the camp mob and of the Adnyamathanha Nation.

JUROR: Okay. Thank you. So we could not get consensus then from the landowners. That would be a bottom line, wouldn’t it? If they are 100 per cent opposing this, the rightful owners to the land will not allow it. Is that correct?

MS MARSH: That’s right. ………

– and then the final announcement came. We knew at one stage that there was six nominated sites in South Australia but then the final announcement came in the early hours of – some time in April, I forget when it 45 was. And I got a message from the media at 2.30 in the morning to say that the .SA Nuclear 09.07.16 P-181 Spark and Cannon nuclear waste dump had been narrowed down to one site. From six sites yesterday, it had been narrowed down to one site which will now be on Adnyamanthanha land, Wallerberdina Road, Barndioota on Adnyamathanha land. I was absolutely shattered. Like anyone would who was getting a phone 5 call at 2 o’clock in the morning – half past two in the morning to tell you this kind of news that you’d been opposing for months and months anyway. And my reaction was I felt as though I’d been struck a blow to the back of the head by an axe. That’s just how I felt. I was absolutely shattered. And throughout the morning, I tried to collect myself to get my life in order, to try – at 6.30, I 10 sat down at the table to try and eat my breakfast but I was bombarded by phone calls from the media asking me questions about how I felt about this. Well, I was a mess but I had to get myself together to do – do some kind of report, which I did.

And then of course I had family members too, ringing me and calling me, what are we going to do? Shall we meet? You know, how can we stop this, and so on and so on. So it’s been a really experiencing task, it’s been a terrible task and it is a task that we’re still living with today and the answer at this stage, to this day, is no. We don’t want this radioactive waste dumped on our sacred 20 land. And we called this land (indistinct) means (indistinct) is spiritual land. We believe that our spiritual people are still walking with us when we go there for picnics and go camping there. And then the other thing we describe the land is that Moondayata. When we say Moondayata, it’s sacred land, it’s secret land. Be careful how you go there and treat the land and that is our 25 custom, it’s in our culture, that is our custom and we say no to the radioactive waste. ……http://assets.yoursay.sa.gov.au/production/2016/07/11/04/35/26/d1c20944-da60-46f0-b162-ea2c3639500a/Nuclear%20Fuel%20Cycle%20Royal%20Commission%20Consultation%20and%20Response%20Agency%20%E2%80%93%20Citizens’%20Jury%20-%20090716.pdf
