A Royal Waste of Time

The South Australian Royal Commission into nuclear expansion is losing credibility as it continues. The expert advisory panel is stacked with nuclear advocates and barriers are high for public participation, with requirements that submissions are typed and signed by a Justice of the Peace. Many Traditional Owners have already experienced the radioactive racism of the industry and have vowed to stop any expansion in its tracks. From the nuclear tests at Emu Field and Maralinga through to the imposition of the Olympic Dam and Beverley uranium mines, “it's not a fruit salad”, as Uncle Kevin Buzzacott says. Fresh from the Students of Sustainability Conference in Adelaide, Aunty Sue Coleman-Haseldine, Uncle Kevin Buzzacott and Dr Jim Green are sharing their experiences with the nuclear industry and calling out for support and solidarity. Please submit your two cents to the Royal Waste of Time and stop this pro-nuclear push from gaining a foothold. All of the issues and information is waiting at http://www.conservationsa.org.au/nuclear.
