A Western Australian ban on the mining of its considerable deposits of uranium would greatly boost the morale of the global anti-nuclear movement, as have the recent momentous events in Germany, Taiwan and Turkey.

The WA Coalition government, although it legislated in 1999 against the importing of foreign nuclear waste, supports the creation of more nuclear waste by endorsing uranium mining.

It is quietly poised to allow up to half a dozen mines in WA’s Kimberley, Pilbara, Midwest and Goldfields - backed up by Federal Liberal policy. This position has effectively isolated them from the mainstream, with most other political parties now establishing anti-uranium mining platforms.

Let’s make sure that on 10 February, WA elects a new government which has the will to make WA permanently nuclear free.
