Saturday October 15, 2016 marks 63 years since the first atomic bomb test at Emu Junction in South Australia.

The Federal Government is pursuing plans to build a national waste dump in the Flinders Ranges while a proposal for South Australia to take the worlds international high level nuclear waste continues to be progressed by the SA state government.

Communities across the state are saying ‘no way’.

We can do better than to take the worlds worst waste’.

Report back: Port Augusta nuclear exposure weekend conference

September 28, 2016

Exposure 2016 saw communities from all over South Australia travel to Port Augusta to join with locals and talk nuclear waste. Over 100 people passed through the registration desk to engage in sessions and workshops, share ideas and for a yarn, get inspired and work together for future action against state and federal government’s plans to build nuclear waste dumps in SA.

Members of Friends of the Earth Adelaide’s Clean Futures Collective travelled to Port Augusta to support the conference.

nuclear? unclear…

September 18, 2016

We weren’t surprised at the Nuclear Royal Commission recommendations.

We were, however, disappointed by the poor quality of the report.

We have a presentation for those still undecided about the dump proposal, highlighting some of the
extraordinary assumptions and interesting features of the proposal.

A lot of the information came from work by other people and groups, including David Noonan, Jim Green, the australia institute, FoE Australia and the Conservation Council SA.

The Politics of Nuclear Waste seminar Sunday 18 September

September 12, 2016

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
Box Factory Community Centre, 2 Regent St, Adelaide
