Mia Pepper and Kado Muir from Western Australian Nuclear Free Alliance tell it like it is... “The Government and these mining companies are putting human life last. How many Western Australian communities suffered lead and aluminium poisoning from leaks along freight routes and in the refineries despite all the promises that it would not happen? They can’t protect us against lead and aluminium, how are they going to protect us against uranium?” Yeeliree Traditional Owner and WANFA chairperson “The biggest concern with uranium mining is the long-term impacts of radioactive mine waste on country – how that is contained, whether that will get into the groundwater and the food chain.” There has never been a successful uranium mine in Australia. Each one has had its accidents, its spills, its leaks and its failed rehabilitation.” Mia Pepper WANFA thestringer.au/first-uranium-mine-in-wa-may-mean-40-uranium-mines-by-2030/
