Quite secretively organised, the plan for a federal nuclear waste dump at Hawker, Flinders Ranges, South Australia
https://www.facebook.com/groups/941313402573199/ This secrecy is outrageous. It would not happen in America. The whole bs about “medical wastes” is one big cover-up for the transport of a tiny amount of intermediate to high level nuclear wastes returning from France. The plan is to continue to take in such returning nuclear wastes, so that Lucas Hieights’ reactor can continue to produce them. After that, how convenient for the global nuclear lobby, if South Australia is already taking in ‘Australian’ high level wastes. What a lovely precedent for the global nuclear waste import plan.
Gavin Smith The Intermediate Nuclear Waste from France is really High Level Waste bound for the Flinders Ranges to be stored indefinitely in a shed during Earthquakes, the 50 degree C heat of Summer and the Outback Floods of Wonoka Creek .
Gavin Smith We are expected to turn up to Hawker for 2 hours today and submit Environmental and Health submissions to the Government reps. about the Nuke Dump No Public notice for submission from the General Public have been called for as this is a Local Hawker matter. Local seems to be the key words used by the people in the dump area who believe it is a benign development and make a point that outsiders educated opinions are unwelcome .
Australia’s Secret Shipment of Radioactive Nuclear Waste Arrives !
Bronwyn Lucas Today already! There’s a tourism operator forum on at Beltana Station, so I’d imagine that there’d be a few locals at Beltana, not able to attend. We can’t make it today either.
This will be the tick the box and no-one is concerned b.s.
Gavin SmithBronwyn Lucas Part of the plan . Station Stays people will be at that venue. Check the Get About in Hawker Page for the notice. The Fed Gov. web page has no public consultation listing and no advice or invitation for written submissions from the public . Jut the 2 hours of over the counter at Hawker . The Local Council must surely be aware of what is going on and no advice is coming from there either .
Gavin Smith It is a site that locals use . People are not game to voice any opinion against that of businesses and councils in small places . I do and pay the price for it .
Bronwyn Lucas I’m very sorry to hear that you may be being ostrasized, Gavin. At least the Quorn Caravan Park, Flinders Rangesand Quorn Cafe are questioning at least the process of getting the repository into the Flinders Ranges, so you’ll find at least a couple of friendly businesses this way and lots of friendly locals, also asking more questions and needing more answers.
Gavin SmithBronwyn Lucas The fight for what is right is not on if you only engage with like minded I suppose. The Murraylands has been a battlefield for the environment for me over many years .
Joy Engelman The process is deliberately designed to bypass people. I am not sure what can be done except to say people need to be ready and vigilant. The govt usually putsa small ad in the back section of local papers in the public notices and usually onle one ad on a day when the paper isn’t popular like a Tuesday. That way they can claim it was advertised but no-one was interested.
Gavin SmithJoy Engelman I checked the website. Has anyone seen anything at Quorn or Port Augusta about it. The FRC have only posted council meeting stuff on the 20th July and 7 days is a joke for submissions to been delivered in person. Ch 7 Today Tonight is close to getting a call on this one. Mike Smithson loves a cover up story .
Gavin SmithJoy Engelman It is a national project and we should all be given a fair go . It is not in the Council Region but Outback Lands . My blood is near boiling point about this.
Joy EngelmanGavin Smith l have written to a couple of ministers, made a submission to the Royal Commission, yourSay and also emailed the Dept of Conservation This has helped me get rid of some if my frustration and hurt about this. I encourage you to do the same. Write and complain, ask questions of govt. It does help. My heart goes out to you all… To all of us!
