Wake up Australia! to the machinations of The Thorium Nuclear Lobby - by Christina Macpherson

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 14/03/2014 - 2:12pm

AUSTRALIA - Wake up!!

Completely under the radar, unknown to mainstream media, nuclear lobby machinations are going on, especially in Victoria and South Australia.

On March 15th, South Australians will elect a Liberal government, and that will hasten the lobby's plans for a nuclear power 'hub' in that state. Long promoted by Prof Barry Brook, Alexander Downer Prof Stefan Simons (BHP funded) and others, the nuclear push gets an extra kick from drive to get nuclear submarines. At present Australia's Defence Minister is in Scotland, researching construction of nuclear submarines.
