On this radioactive show, we hear the presentation that Dr Ann-Elise Lewallen -Associate Professor in East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies, at the University of California in Santa Barbara - gave at the No Nukes Asia Forum in Taiwan in September 2019.  Then, we’ll hear an update on the Australian situation, as the federal government’s consultation period has just closed. Minister Canavan has ruled out the Flinders Ranges as a site for a radioactive waste facility. Regina McKenzie talks about the relief she feels that it’s no longer a threat to her Country, but she is still deeply concerned for the Kimba community.
