South Australian Labor members have dumped on their home state today, backing the legislation to build a nuclear waste dump at Kimba on SA\u2019s Eyre Peninsula, the Greens say.
\nSA Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young said:
\n\u201cLabor has today dumped on South Australia and backed a site selection process for a nuclear waste dump that has been dodgy from the start.
\n\u201cSouth Australians have already said no to nuclear. Today, every South Aussie should be asking why their elected representatives from the major parties have refused to listen to them.
\n\u201cThere is not broad community support. Traditional Owners have rejected the proposal but their views have been dismissed. Communities living along potential transportation routes have not been consulted.
\n\u201cThe Greens referred the legislation to a Senate Inquiry for scrutiny of the laws and the process that led to this point. That Inquiry has not yet reported, nor has it held hearings in affected communities.
\n\u201cI urge Labor to reconsider their support for this bill before it gets to the Senate. SA won\u2019t forgive them for dumping radioactive waste in our foodbowl and putting our clean, green reputation and our state\u2019s key grain export industry at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
