Give Minister Ferguson
the thumbs down on Muckaty Bill
WHAT:
Peaceful protest / action
WHERE:
Minister Ferguson's Office - 159 High Street , Preston . Melbourne, VIC.
WHEN:
Mon January 17th, 2011. 9am - 11am
Three days before Christmas the government concluded
a sham committee inquiry endorsing
Martin Ferguson's plans to dump nuclear waste at Muckaty in the NT.
Traditional Owners were not given the opportunity
to speak to the committee or even to lodge a submission.
Ferguson continues to refuse requests to meet with Traditional Owners opposed to the dump. Traditional Owners have initiated legal action in the Federal Court yet it seems likely that Ferguson will push ahead with his Radioactive Waste Management Bill early in 2011. The Bill overides state and territory laws, it overrides important federal Aboriginal heritage and environmental legislation, and it enshrines Muckaty as the only site under consideration despite the opposition of many Traditional Owners, the NT Government and many others.
Muckaty Traditional Owners are calling for our support to stop the dump.
Now is the time to act.
Please come to the protest on January 17
and contact Friends of the Earth
if you can support the campaign in other ways.

This blog does not take Anonymous comments. Experience shows that comments cluttered with "Anonymous" are boring and people don't know whether "Anonymous" is one person or many. This is not a decision about freedom of speech. It is a decision about boring or unwillingness to be known by even a pseudonym.
