This week we bring you more presentations from the Australian Nuclear Free Alliance meeting in Wollongong, 16-18 March.  

We hear from Mirarr representative Corben Mujandi about the long struggle of the Mirrar to end uranium mining in Kakadu and the pressure from mining companies and the Government that continue today.  Kirsten Blair who works with the Mirarr's Gundjeihmi Aboriginal Corporation shares some of the history of the campaign. 

Then Walpiri woman Valerie Martin and Barbara Shaw, fourth generation town camper in Mpartnwe-Alice Springs discuss the Nolans rare earth mine that will leave a legacy of radioactive waste 135km north of Alice Springs.
