THANKS TO LM, PROTOCOL, CLR TORNAI AND LEE RHIANNON
BUT REAL THANKS GO TO THE WOMEN WHO HAVE WALKED THE HARD MILES TO HIGHLIGHT THE GREAT DANGERS POSED BY THE URANIUM AND NUCLEAR INDUSTRIES.
NOW MORE THAN EVER WE HAVE TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE DANGERS OF NUCLEAR POWER BECAUSE THE INDUSTRY IS SET TO PROMOTE ITSELF AS THE ANSWER TO CLIMATE CHANGE. AN ANSWER WE KNOW WILL ONLY CREATE MORE PROBLEMS AND MORE DANGERS.
THIS IS AN ANSWER THAT WILL LEAD THE WORLD AWAY FROM RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES TO AN INDUSTRY THAT IS MORE TOXIC AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS THAN PEOPLE IMAGINE.

WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THE TERRIBLE ATTEMPTS TO PUT A RADIOACTIVE DUMP ON ABORIGINAL LAND AT MUCKATY STATION IN THE NORTHERN TERRITORY. A DUMP OF TOXIC POISONS THAT WILL REMAIN DANGEROUS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
THIS IS THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE NUCLEAR INDUSTRY ACROSS THE WORLD AND IN AMERICA WE SEE THE SAME HABIT OF DUMPING THESE POISONS ON INDIGENOUS LAND.
WE’VE RECENTLY HEARD FROM A WHISTLEBLOWER AT LUCAS HEIGHTS ABOUT DANGEROUS PRACTICES THERE AND WE REMEMBER THE LEAK THE ARGENTINIAN REACTOR SPRANG THAT COULDN’T BE STOPPED.
I MENTION THE DISASTER IN CHERNOBYL THAT HAS AFFECTED MILLIONS AND TURNED CITIES IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA INTO GHOST TOWNS.
IN THE US THERE ARE SIMILAR FOOTPRINTS FOR PEACE WALKS GOING ON STOPPING AT THREE MILE ISLAND TO HIGHLIGHT THE NEAR CATASTROPHE THAT OCCURRED THERE.
AND OF COURSE THERE ARE NUCLEAR WEAPONS THAT HAVE PROLIFERATED ACROSS THE WORLD AND FOR THE LAST 50 YEARS HAVE LED TO A SUPERPOWER PHILOSOPHY OF MUTUALLY ASSURED DESTRUCTION.
I WOULD LIKE TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT ON MONDAY NIGHT COUNCIL WILL BE CONSIDERING A MOTION FROM THE DEPUTY LORD MAYOR CALLING ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO ACT ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE REPORT INTO NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION AND DISARMAMENT.
I HOPE THAT OTHER COUNCILLORS HERE WILL CONSIDER DOING THE SAME.
FINALLY AGAIN I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME OUR WALKERS FOR PEACE AND A URANIUM FREE FUTURE WHERE SAFE AND PLENTIFUL RENEWABLES ARE THE ANSWERS TO FAR REACHING CLIMATE CHANGE AND A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE.
THANK YOU AGAIN AND WELCOME TO SYDNEY TOWN HALL
