Day 33 cont ☢️☢️☢️☢️
“If #PeterDutton (#Liberal) ☢️ were to form government, safety could come to the fore again because it would need to overturn the #FederalBan on #NuclearEnergy, implemented in 1999 by #JohnHoward (ex PM, Liberal) in a deal with #TheGreens.
Despite the dangers being dismissed by Labor☢️ (AUKUS) and the Coalition ☢️, Caldicott remains concerned about #NuclearWaste being improperly stored in #Australia and contaminating water supplies – or even a #Chernobyl-like #reactor meltdown.
“It’s not being discussed at all, which is amazing to me”, Caldicott says. “People are very ignorant.”” — #HelenCaldicott MD
