Too much haste to nuclear waste
Halliburton, Dick Cheney's former company, constructed the railway line between Adelaide and Darwin, now managed by Serco Asia Pacific, a leader in the management and transport of Britain's nuclear waste.
It runs adjacent to both the SA Olympic Dam uranium mine and to Muckaty Station at Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory - the preferred site chosen by the Federal Government to store radioactive waste from Lucas Heights.
Australian Prime Minister John Howard is mooting domestic uranium enrichment, construction of 25 nuclear reactors on the East Coast, storage of foreign radioactive waste in Australia and reprocessing spent radioactive nuclear fuel in a "closed nuclear fuel cycle".
Even the 'alternative government', the Labor Party, has joined the Coalition's open-slather uranium mine policy
[Has our nuclear future already been decided? All that is left to do is to spring the plan on 'we the people'.]
