The week in nuclear news
The big news worldwide continues to be about the coronavirus, which is still raging in many countries, especially in the USA. Meanwhile the race to develop and implement vaccines is already on.
Australian children targetted for propaganda by the weapons industry.
The Australian government”s intimidation of whistleblowers – the torture of Julian Assange.
What next as the Senate rejects the mandatory selection of Napandee as nuclear waste dump? Exposing the deceptions of Keith Pitt, Minister for Resources, on the failed nuclear waste dump plan. Exposing the deceptions of Samantha Chard General Manager of the National Radioactive Waste Agency. “Traceability” and Nuclear waste on agricultural land? Can a new mine save BHP’s loss-making Olympic Dam? .
Victorian Parliament: Legislative Council Committee finds that nuclear ban should stay. Victorian Government Inquiry confirms that there is no future in nuclear power. Inquiry confirms nuclear energy’s ‘proven risks’. Victorian Inquiry finds nuclear power costly and risky.
Australian government’s Bill to weaken Environmental Law will be rejected in the Senate. Corporate vested interests win as Australian Government weakens Environmental Laws. Australian government is rushing to weaken Environmental Laws.
Australia’s Department of Defence captured by foreign weapons makers Thales, BAE.
The Bill for the Napandee nuclear waste dump won’t be passed next year, either
National Radioactive Waste Management Amendment (Site Specification, Community Fund and Other Measures) Bill 2020
Peter Remta 7 Dec 20, It is now quite clear that the government will not bring on the bill in the Senate sitting this week as it would be defeated and will wait until next year’s resumption before deciding what to do.
Obviously Pitt believes this will give him ample time to bring the opposing Senate cross benchers to accept the legislation but this I suggest is a forlorn hope
However none of this will overcome the inherent problems with the government’s proposals for Kimba as they cannot be cured by legislative action
This will still be the same situation irrespective of reliance on the existing or the new legislation since the problems are so basic and arise under a widely and strictly adhered to international regime dealing with nuclear safety which is beyond the legislative competence of the federal parliament
It has been put to me that if this situation had arisen in Europe and even in the United States it would already be subject to heavy litigation in superior courts – perhaps we are not as strong in our democratic principles as we are lead to believe
Senate Debate on Nuclear waste dump Bill postponed till at least February 2nd 2021
