Video of presentation of anti-nuclear postcards & petition to Jay Weatherill

The Australian Conservation Foundation have released a video documenting the handover of signed postcards and a petition against nuclear dumps to Premier Jay Weatherill in mid November. A group of Traditional Owners plus representatives from the ACF, the Conservation Council and Friends of the Earth met with the Premier to show him evidence that 35,000 Australians do not want a nuclear waste dump in SA.

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.
