Key points:A tanker has leaked 4,500 litres of sulphuric acid across regional South AustraliaIt was on its way from Port Pirie to the outback Beverley uranium mine The EPA says the spill had caused no apparent environmental damage, possibly thanks to rain The truck was loaded with sulphuric acid at the Nyrstar lead smelter in Port Pirie on July 22. According to the EPA’s director of regulation Andrew Pruszinski, two days later, the truck left for the Beverley uranium mine in the state’s north-east, and was about 70 kilometres north of Yunta — or about 270 km from Port Pirie — when the driver was alerted to a problem.”On the way to the mine site … [a] driver, who was in the truck behind the tanker, noticed something wasn’t right with the truck in front,” Mr Pruszinski said. |

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.
