Kimba mayor Dean Johnson shows his ignorance on nuclear wastes

Kazzi Jai Fight to Stop ma Nuclear Waste Dump in South Australia

Note to Mayor Dean Johnson……Comparing Leigh Creek coal mine and Port Pirie Lead Smelter to this proposed dump in Kimba is RIDICULOUS!

Both Leigh Creek coal mine and Port Pirie Lead Smelter were endorsed and wanted BY ALL SOUTH AUSTRALIANS AT THAT TIME when they were established – Leigh Creek coal mine in 1941 and Port Pirie Lead Smelter in 1915!

The Federal Government had NOTHING to do with either of them!

And….BOTH produce waste ON SITE – which is NOT SENT SUBSEQUENTLY INTERSTATE!

We take care of our own waste produced in our own state – not try and SHAFT it onto another state so that it becomes THAT RECEIVING state’s problem and responsibility AS THE CURRENT PROPOSAL FOR KIMBA STANDS!

Kapeesh!
