S2E5 - Australia's first atom bomb, and 70 years of Aboriginal people resisting the nuclear industry in South Australia
from The Paradigm Shift on 4ZZZ
Today we are marking a not very happy anniversary - 70 years this weekend since the first nuclear weapon was detonated on the Australian mainland at Emu Fields. I speak to Karina Lester, whose father Yami was permanently blinded by the blast. We also hear about the long and continuing struggle of South Australian Aboriginal people against the nuclear industry on their country - from Arabunna elder Kevin Buzzacott about resisting the world's biggest uranium mine on his land, and Barngarla elder Aunty Dawn Taylor about the most recent win - her people stopping a nuclear waste dump being built at Kimba.
