The Politics of Nuclear Waste seminar Sunday 18 September

The Politics of Nuclear Waste

Under strident pressures from Business SA and the Murdoch media, the Weatherill Labor government is moving to open up South Australia as the prime storage site for the radioactive wastes of the global nuclear industry.
Why are South Australia’s elites pushing this macabre re-invention of the state’s economy?
What are the environmental dangers, and the financial risks?
What lies behind the abandonment by the state government of decades of Labor policy?
What are the strategies needed to defeat the nuclear dumpsters?
Speakers:
· Roman Orszanski, Friends of the Earth

· Dan Monceaux, independent film-maker and researcher

· Renfrey Clarke, Anti-Nuclear Coalition

Come and join in the discussion!

Sunday, September 18, 2 pm

Defend Renewables: Yes 2 Renewables info night

August 29, 2016

WANT TO DEFEND SOUTH AUSTRALIA’s RENEWABLE ENERGY LEADERSHIP?…

JOIN US ON TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 13 TO FIND OUT HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED IN THIS CAMPAIGN TO SECURE JOBS, INVESTMENT, AND OUR CLIMATE:

6:30-8pm The Joinery 111 Franklin St Adelaide

The fossil fuel sector has mounted an aggressive attack South Australia’s renewable energy leadership in recent weeks. These interests are trying to undermine renewable energy’s reputation and intimidate states who are taking leadership, such as the ACT, Victoria, and South Australia.

The fossil fuel lobby will do anything to stop our transition to 100% renewables. They’re prepared to sacrifice South Australian jobs, investment in regional communities, and our climate to protect their own interests.

Yes 2 Renewables are ready to defend renewables… But we can’t do it alone.

Please join us for an informal campaign info night at The Joinery on Tuesday September 13. You’ll meet fellow community members who want to rollout renewables. Snacks and beverages will be available. And no prior knowledge is needed.

SPEAKERS:

Attendees will find out about our strategy to defend South Australia’s renewable energy leadership, secure jobs and investment, and ramp up action on climate change.

* Leigh Ewbank, Yes 2 Renewables national coordinator
* Special guests to be announced.

Please feel free to bring family, friends, and colleagues along.
