Nuclear dump-stopping + Black Rhymes

Sunday, 11 June 2017 - 11:00am to 11:30am

SA high-level dump project "dead"

After two years of Government pressure and community resistance, the SA Premier has finally declared that his proposal for the state to import high-level nuclear waste from around the world is dead. Karina Lester, Yankunytjatjara-Anangu, from the No Dump Alliance tells us about it. She clarifies that while this is a huge win, two communities are still under the threat of a national dump; the Flinders Ranges and Kimba.

We hear three spoken word pieces from talented Aboriginal artists at the Black Rhymes event in Sydney: Lorna Munro, Elizabeth Jarrett and Rhyan Clapham.
