Traditional Owners Speak Out:
No radioactive dump in the NT

National Speaking Tour





With three Commonwealth Defence sites under assessment and Muckaty Station recently nominated by the Northern Land Council as another potential site, Traditional Owners from all of the targeted areas are traveling across the country to express their concerns of how a radioactive dump would irreversibly damage country and culture.

The NLC announcement comes despite an "absolute categorical assurance" prior to the last election that the NT would not be targeted for a Federal radioactive waste dump. In June 2005 the Federal Government announced that three Department of Defence sites in the NT would be assessed for suitability.

Brendan Nelson, as Federal Science Minister, queried "why on earth can't people in the middle of nowhere have [radioactive] waste?; Current Science Minister Julie Bishop remarked "all the sites in the NT are well away from house…some from any form of civilisation".

Remote areas are not uninhabited and lifeless places. Hear Traditional Owners from country speak out.
