South Australia is a proud state rich in possibilities, clever people, ancient and continuing
Aboriginal culture, creativity and breathtaking nature.
Nuclear waste dumps potentially threaten our environment, current and future generations
and the SA economy.
The decision to import high level nuclear waste is a forever decision. Once we make it,
there’s no going back. This is not a decision that a Government with any morals can make
for thousands of generations of future South Australians. lt would only take 0NE human
error or 0NE natural disaster over this vast timeframe to destroy what we value in South
Australia.
Voluntarily importing tens of thousands of tonnes of highly toxic nuclear waste is
something thatnoothercountryhaseverdone.YettheSAgovernmentisproposingto
import no less than 138,000 tonnes of high’level nuclear waste – one’third of the world’s
total.
The economics don’t stack up – if money could be made from international nuclear waste
dumps, other countries would already be doing it. Very few sustainable jobs would result.
No one can guarantee that a nuclear waste dump will be safe; and there is no consent for
these dumps from Traditional 0wners.
Surely we can do better.
As for storing Australia’s own nuclear waste – our iconic Flinders Ranges is not the answel,
especially as the proposal is iiercely opposed by Adnyamathanha Traditional 0wners.
0n the 15th of October, the 63rd anniversary o{the Emu Field atomic bomb tests, take a
stand and join us at Parliament House to say “N0!” to nuclear waste dumps in SA.
lluclear waste dumps in South Australia simply aren’t worth the RISKS.
Spread the wotd and come along with your family, friends, organisation and community
group to stand up for SA.
Will you join us at Parliament House, North Terace, 11 AM, October 1 5th?
