HELP   STOP   JABILUKA

There are times in your life when you know in your heart what is right and what is not, what is true and what is not, what is decent and what is not. This is such a time. Kakadu should not be mined for uranium. Jabiluka should not proceed.
The campaign to oppose uranium mining and to protect the country and culture of Kakadu has a long history. For two decades Aborigines and environmentalists have worked to stop the expansion of this highly dangerous industry and to maintain the cultural and ecological integrity of Australia's largest national park and world heritage area. Since the election of the Coalition government in 1996, with its threat to allow more uranium mines, the campaign has developed in urgency and intensity. Over the last two years a broad campaign has developed to contain the uranium industry and its radioactive legacy. A strong alliance has been formed between national and regional environmental group and the traditional owners of the region the Mirrar. Together they are working to stop Jabiluka. The Mirrar people are vehemently opposed to another mine on their land (they already have a mine that they never wanted, called Ranger, which has been in operation for 17 years), however, the mining company Energy Resources of Australia (ERA) are pushing on regardless. The message of opposition to Jabiluka and to uranium mining continues to grow and to spread. The European parliament has called on the Australian government not to proceed with the Jabiluka project. A growing number of people have seen the direct link that exists between uranium mining and the complex, costly, and toxic process of nuclear power and nuclear weapons. The campaign against the Jabiluka uranium nvest your money wisely! Don't let your money be usmine is dynamic. It is also vital for the future of Australia as a nation. The choices with the Jabiluka proposal are clear. We can respect country and culture or we can allow narrow corporate imperatives to prevail. The Mirrar have made their choice. Ultimately we all have to choose and to act. Source: Jabiluka Alliance Information Leaflet
