The Greens have called for the process to select a nuclear waste site to be halted, and an independent, expert panel to take over, amid deep concerns about the sidelining of the community and Traditional Owners.
\n\u201cToday\u2019s revelations that Kimba is the preferred site for an expanded nuclear waste dump are deeply troubling,\u201d Greens nuclear spokesperson Sarah Hanson-Young said.
\n\u201cThe entire process has been badly botched from the start, with community concerns ignored and the Adnyamathanha and Barngarla people sidelined.
\n\u201cThe Minister has serious questions to answer. He must clarify immediately whether a site has been selected and if the site will be expanded.
\n\u201cThe ongoing mismanagement of the process makes it clearer than ever that this must not be left in the hands of the Minister. An independent, expert inquiry needs to be established.
\n\u201cSouth Australia is not going to just roll over and be the country\u2019s dumping ground. This plan would lock generations of South Australians to nuclear waste. We are proud of our clean, green agriculture industry and beautiful natural environment. It must be protected.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
