Petition Against Uranium Mining in Australia

The Hon Julia Gillard MP
Prime Minister
Parliament House
CANBERRA ACT 2600
Australia

Dear Prime Minister,

We are writing to you to express our deep concern about and opposition to uranium mining in Australia.

Australia produces over 20% of the world's uranium and exports this to other countries, including Japan.

The Fukushima nuclear meltdown and the continuing dangers of nuclear radiation from Japan should give us cause to pause and rethink this policy of mining for uranium.

Uranium is deadly. There is no safe way of handling this material. The uranium industry - from mining, to nuclear power stations, to nuclear weapons, to the problem of storing radioactive waste for thousands of years - is an unsafe and unsustainable industry from start to finish.

As a forward-thinking member of the international community, Australia has a responsibility to turn her back on the whole uranium industry and, instead, set her sights firmly on a sustainable energy future.

Please let us do the right thing with uranium: Leave it in the ground, like our elders have been saying.

Please let Australia set an example for the rest of the world to follow in supporting a safe and nurturing planet.

Thank you for showing true leadership by saying "No" to uranium mining and "Yes" to green, clean and safe energy.
