I have seen several programs and read articles on the rigging of these elections and I have no doubt that the facts presented are true. Add to that the fact that any Nuclear power generation/enrichment equipment would be most likeley be supplied by US companies and the fact that our PM has been described by GoergeW as the regions "Deputy Sherriff" and you should hear alarm bells ringing. I don't believe the sudden concern on greenhouse emissions by our PM is genuine and is nothing but spin put on the debate, if he were serious about greenhouse emissions there would be a series of initiatives in place by now to efficiently use the energy resources we have and further the development of renewables Australia would have signed the Kyoto protocol.. There is no doubt in my mind that this nuclear agenda is being driven by mining interests coupled with US political and interests. The fact that our Government would engage in a debate on a technology that is accepted as extremely risky scares the hell out of me.  |
I concur, couldn't put it better my self.
