Anti-nuclear Coalition meeting Monday 5 December.

November 28, 2016

ANC’s final meeting for the year will be on Monday 5th Dec, 6 p.m. at The Joinery. We will show the 13 min video sent to us by British scientist, Chris Busby, then have a (hopefully) short meeting, followed by a shared meal. Bring a plate of something to share, and we’ll get some juice and soft drink. If you want alcohol, BYO. It would be great to see some of our anti-dump colleagues who don’t normally come to ANC meetings.

Dr Chris Busby is known for his theories about the negative health effects of very low-dose ionising radiation, which have very clear implications for the Federal Govt’s dump in the Flinders. Ally Fricker asked Chris Busby if he cared to comment on the South Australian dump fiasco, which he has kindly done, despite the many demands on his time. If you can’t get to the meeting you can see the video here.

Saturday Oct 15 saw over 3,000 people turn out on the steps of Parliament House to defend South Australia from both the federal government’s national nuclear waste dump, and the state government’s international waste dump.

Friends of the Earth members were proud to have been a part of the rally and on the Organising Committee.

Well done to everyone who came along to show there is not community consent for either proposal.

The rally was covered by the Advertiser and ABC websites and the television news for ABC, Channel 7 and 9.
