AUSTRALIA’S HISTORY OF MISMANAGING RADIOACTIVE WASTE
Jim Green shared a link. 18 Mar 18 “The disposal of radioactive waste in Australia is ill-considered and irresponsible. Whether it is short-lived waste from Commonwealth facilities, long-lived plutonium waste from an atomic bomb test site on Aboriginal land, or reactor waste from Lucas Heights. The government applies double standards to suit its own agenda; there is no consistency, and little evidence of logic.” ‒ Nuclear engineer Alan Parkinson nuclear.foe.org.au

A Good News Story: Winds of change for Golden Plains as huge wind farm gets go-ahead https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/environment/climate-change/winds-of-change-for-golden-plains-as-huge-wind-farm-gets-go-ahead-20190111-p50qv6.html , By Bianca Hall & Adam Carey, 11 January 2019, A massive 170 square kilometre wind farm has passed the final Victorian planning hurdle, and could be powering in four years if the federal government approves the project.
The $1.5 billion wind farm, sprawling over 17,000 hectares near the small town of Rokewood south of Ballarat, passed environmental approvals last month.
Acting Planning Minister Lily D’Ambrosio will on Saturday announce the Victorian government has granted a planning permit for the project in the Golden Plains Shire.
All that remains is for the federal government to sign off on it.
