Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 15/11/2011 - 1:41pm

Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard is pressing the Australia Labor Party to overturn a decades old ban on exporting Uranium to India. Meanwhile the high echelons of the Labor Party are pushing for Labor to expand Uranium Mining within Australia.

How to use a bikelock to save the Great Barrier Reef - protest halts Gladstone dredging

Submitted by takver on Wed, 09/11/2011 - 3:05pm

Derec Davies used a bicycle U lock to attach himself to a dredger in Gladstone Harbour this morning. The direct action was taken to protect the Great Barrier Reef against the development of Gladstone harbour liquefied natural gas facilities on Curtis Island to export Coal Seam Gas. Massive Dredging of the Gladstone harbour is occurring which fisherman and environmentalists say is causing turbidity in the water and causing illness of fish effectively closing down the local fishing industry. Development is endangering the World Heritage status of the Great Barrier Reef.
