The Wilderness Society (South Australia) Inc staged a community action on the steps of Parliament House today, to protest the licence renewal of mining company Marathon Resources to explore for uranium in Arkaroola. In a sad day for the environment, Marathon today accepted the terms of the renewal. It is in the national and state interest for the Government to protect Arkaroola.
The Government’s decision to allow mining company Marathon Resources back into Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary shows a total disregard towards community opinion. Some places too precious to mine Arkaroola is one of them.
Leading conservation group The Wilderness Society today slammed LNP Lawrence Springborg for declaring his support for opening up Queensland to toxic uranium mining. Mr Springborg made the comments campaigning in Mt Isa today.
Federal Government assurances that it will not continue Australia’s membership of the exclusive Global Nuclear Energy Partnership have been exposed as misleading by the release of a letter that confirms it is still considering it.
The Rudd Government has failed to distance itself from the nuclear legacy of the Howard Government and instead is moving to entrench Australia’s membership in an exclusive global nuclear club that opens the way for a nuclear industry and waste dump in Australia.
A new Federal Government plan to replace inefficient incandescent light globes with energy saving bulbs would take away the need for a nuclear power plant in Australia.
The Wilderness Society calls on the Federal Government to outline where radioactive waste from the decommissioning of the Sydney nuclear reactor will be dumped.
An international panel of experts has written to the Prime Minister's nuclear taskforce to condemn the Switkowski Report for failing to address major shortcomings and respond public feedback.
A new House of Representatives Committee report is unbalanced and fails to examine the real costs of a nuclear industry for the Australian public. The Inquiry into developing Australia's non-fossil fuel energy industry report advocates turning Australia into an international nuclear waste dump.
For the first time, Australia has opened the door to allow nuclear waste from all over the world to be sent to Australia and stored here under changes to laws passed by Federal Parliament last night.
