Due 28 February 2020- Submissions to the Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry into Nuclear Prohibition

Submission to the Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry into Nuclear Prohibition Due 28 February 2020

Nuclear power is a dangerous distraction from real movement on the pressing energy decisions and climate actions we need. Rather than fuel carbon emissions and radioactive risk through domestic coal power plants and the export of coal and uranium, Australia should embrace the fastest growing global energy sector ‒ renewables ‒ and become a driver of clean energy thinking and technology. For more information, see our report: Nuclear Power – No Solution to Climate Change. The easiest (and quickest) way to make a submission is to use the proforma here. You can adapt it as you like. Or email to nuclearprohibition@parliament.vic.gov.au Or send a hardcopy to: The Committee Manager | Standing Committee on Environment and Planning | Parliament House, Spring Street EAST MELBOURNE VIC 3002 | All submissions should include; your full name, contact details (either a postal address or phone number), the text of your submission or an attachment containing your submission and a clear indication if you are seeking confidentiality. The submission closing date is Friday 28 February 2020.

The Road to War brings a sharp focus to why it is not in Australia’s best interest to be dragged into a war with China which will almost inevitably go nuclear very quickly. The filmmaker has interviewed some of Australia’s senior foreign policy analysts who have vast experience behind them in analysing what really is going on here as the United States rattles its sabres with China. And sets us up to be its proxy, like the poor Ukranians have been fed into the Meatgrinder. So America can remain the Top Dog. The Road to War reveals how the United States through its spy base at Pine Gap and by stationing six nuclear capable B52 bombers in the Top End (without permission from the traditional owners) is making Australia a prime nuclear target if the current war of words suddenly melts down into full scale war.

The Road to War shows the implicit connection between Carbon emissions (the US military uses a whopping 70% of America’s annual petroleum to move its armies and vast War Machine around the globe to its 800+ military bases..but under a loophole wangled at Kyoto, the US military does not have to report its C02 annual emissions). The Road to War starts screening at selected cities and regional centres in March. See the trailer end for details.
