Thirty people participated in a media stunt outside the office of federal resource minister Martin Ferguson on May 7 to demand that he and the ALP keep their election promise to repeal the Commonwealth Radioactive Management Act of 2005 and its 2006 amendment. The protest was organised by Friends of the Earth.
The act allows the imposition of a nuclear waste dump without consultation of traditional landowners. It also violates previous acts protecting Aboriginal land rights, including environmental and public health protections.
