Nuclear lobby revs up its frenzied campaign in Australia. Ben Heard is their front man.
Frazer-Nash Consultant, Ben Heard, will be speaking at The International Mining and Resources
Conference (IMARC) in Melbourne on Wednesday 31 October. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Watch South Australia.
Steve Dale “Ben will be giving the keynote address, “Nuclear power in Australia: an ongoing debate”, which discusses the changing nature of the Australian power industry.”
It is only an ongoing debate because lobbyists and unknown sourced lobbying money have such a corrupting influence on our politics. The nuclear push is reaching fever pitch because a lot pro-nuclear pollies will probably be gone after the next election – and the cross bench may get their wish of a Federal ICAC – which could shine a spotlight on the corrupting influence of Nuclear cack lobbying. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1021186047913052/permalink/2171512056213773/?comment_id=2173512052680440¬if_id=1540684271625148¬if_t=group_comment

Why this website will now focus more definitely on just NUCLEAR issues.
So much is happening – under the radar – in nuclear issues.
Although I recognise the huge importance of thr coronavirus pandemic, and of global heating (and Australia is the canary in the global cage), I have decided to restrict my posts from now on pretty much to nuclear news. (with the exception of climate/energy news from https://reneweconomy.com.au/ -and a few top climate articles)
Why? because many others are covering climate and clean energy issues so well.
But there is very little awareness of the nuclear global threat.
We are at a critical time regarding nuclear weapons – the U.N. Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons will soon come into force – already nuclear weapons do not have the ”respectability” that the nuclear nations claim that they have.
Then the ”peaceful” nuclear reactors come into question. The global industry is busting to establish ”small” nuclear reactors world-wide. Though they’re super-expensive, useless against climate change, unsafe, produce toxic wastes – they are the nuclear industry’s desperately needed salvation. The costs of weapons development can be hidden, and transferred to consumers and tax-payers via these new white elephants.
And Australia – with its scientifically ignorant politicians, and its media Murdochracy, is a sitting duck for the pro nuclear propaganda.

Why is it a debate? Is it only a debate because they want more money from the government to subsidise their energy production?
