This 2011- 2012 was again a busy year for the Australian Nuclear Free Alliance (ANFA). Elections were funding is due to run out in 2012. Annually these funds are spent on wages to organise the ANFA held in Queensland and the Northern Territory. We saw the overturning of the uranium exploration annual meetings, and towards travel of Indigenous Australians whose country is affected or ban in NSW, the threat of the uranium mining ban being lifted in Queensland and the aggressive threatened by nuclear activities. There are many organisations that help in the running of ANFA and pursuit of other mine proposals across the country. The expansion of the Olympic Dam uranium contribute time and resources to ANFA. mine was approved and in response over 500 people came to the Lizard’s Revenge protest and then BHPB announced the deferral of the mine expansion. The National Radioactive Waste Management The ANFA committee would like to extend great thanks to those organisations in particular Friends of Act was passed by the Senate, advancing plans for a radioactive waste dump at Muckaty, 120km the Earth Australia. north of Tennant Creek in the NT. We would also like to extend the warmest gratitude to our funders the Poola Foundation (Tom Kantor On the positive side Jeffery Lee’s proposal to see the Koongarra region (including 14,000 tonne Fund) whose generous support has ensured ANFA has grown and thrived and helped inform uranium deposit) incorporated into the Kakadu National Park was endorsed by the Northern Land communities across Australia about the sad reality of the nuclear industry. Thank you for your Council. The Federal Government has committed to the permanent protection of the area and we support over the years and for your commitment to a nuclear free future. look forward to seeing this realised in coming months. The ANFA committee has worked hard to respond to political developments and media reports and make the voice of ANFA members heard locally, nationally and internationally. We have tried various strategies to support people in ANFA to challenge unwanted proposals. There has been a huge amount of work done across several important campaign areas.

    A Submission to the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission

    Roman Oszanski A Submission to the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission Preamble I have chosen not to follow the issues papers: their questions are more suited to those planning to expand the nuclear industry, and many of the issues raised are irrelevant if one believes that, based on the evidence, the industry should be left to die a natural death, rather than being supported to the exclusion of more promising technologies. Executive Summary The civil nuclear industry is in decline globally. [Ref charts on existing reactors, rising costs]. It is not an industry of the future, but of the past. If it were not for the intimate connection to the military industry, it would not exist today. There is no economic advantage to SA in expanding the existing industry in this state. Nuclear power does not offer a practical solution to climate change: total lifetime emissions are likely to be (at best) similar to those of gas power plants, and there is insufficient uranium to replace all the goal fired generators. A transition to breeder technologies leaves us with major problems of waste disposal and proliferation of weapons material. Indeed, the problems of weapons proliferation and the black market in fissionable materials mean that we should limit sales of Uranium to countries which are known proliferation risks, or are non- signatories to the NNPT: we should ban sales of Australian Uranium to Russia and India. There is a current oversupply of enrichment facilities, and there is considerable international concern at the possibility of using such facilities to enrich Uranium past reactor grade to weapons grade.

    Gundjehmi Aboriginal Corporation Speech

    Medical Association for Prevention of War www.mapw.org.au Archived Resource: Paper from IPPNW XIIIth World Congress 1998 Gundjehmi Aboriginal Corporation Speech Author: Jacqui Katona Date: 1998 I speak here today on behalf of the Mirrar people, my family and my countryman who oppose the development of Jabiluka. I'd like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri people, traditional owners of this area, for their liberation is linked to our own and although is takes place in other forums we know their experienced is intimately linked with Aboriginal people across Australia. My people come from Kakadu. One of the best known destinations for many international visitors because of the important and visible connection between my people and the land, Kakadu is our home. It is the place which nurtures our families, and provides us with obligations to protect and maintain our heritage, our future, and our past. For us the threat of Jabiluka is an issue of human rights. Kakadu's unique cultural and natural properties are not only recognised by our people but also by the rest of the world in its inscription on the world heritage list. Even the World Heritage committee recognises that human rights are connected with it's own Convention. It has said: that human rights of indigenous peoples must be taken into account in the protection of world heritage properties; that conservation of country must take place with direction from indigenous people, and; that the continuing violation of human rights places properties in danger because of our integral relationship with the land. The continuing dominance of government and industry organisation over the authority of our people erodes our rights on a daily basis.

    Take Heart and Name WA's New Federal Seat Vallentine 2015 Marks 30 Years Since Jo Vallentine Took up Her Senate Position

    Take heart and name WA’s new federal seat Vallentine 2015 marks 30 years since Jo Vallentine took up her senate position, the first person in the world to be elected on an anti-nuclear platform. What better way to acknowledge her contribution to peace, nonviolence and protecting the planet than to name a new federal seat after her? The official Australian parliament website describes Jo Vallentine in this way: Jo Vallentine was elected in 1984 to represent Western Australia in the Senate for the Nuclear Disarmament Party, running with the slogan ‘Take Heart—Vote Vallentine’. She commenced her term in July 1985 as an Independent Senator for Nuclear Disarmament, claiming in her first speech that she was the first member of any parliament in the world to be elected on this platform. When she stood for election again in 1990, she was elected as a senator for The Greens (Western Australia), and was the first Green in the Australian Senate. … During her seven years in Parliament, Vallentine was a persistent voice for peace, nuclear disarmament, Aboriginal land rights, social justice and the environment (emphasis added)i. Jo Vallentine’s parliamentary and subsequent career should be recognised in the named seat of Vallentine because: 1. Jo Vallentine was the first woman or person in several roles, in particular: The first person in the world to win a seat based on a platform of nuclear disarmament The first person to be elected to federal parliament as a Greens party politician. The Greens are now Australia’s third largest political party, yet no seat has been named after any of their political representatives 2.
