Uranium Protesters Rally in Fremantle
Protesters have gathered in Fremantle to rally against uranium mining ahead of a conference with major mining companies.
Greens Senator Scott Ludlam, Fremantle Mayor Brad Pettitt and representatives of the Conservation Council, WA Nuclear Free Alliance, Fremantle Anti-Nuclear Group and the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union were among those gathered for the rally outside the Esplanade Hotel in Fremantle.
Conservation Council spokesperson Mia Pepper said the protesters wanted to put pressure on the government to ban uranium mining in the state.
"We have been calling for an inquiry since the Barnett government lifted the ban," she said.
"The companies answer to their shareholders and to their boards, so we don't have much hope in getting their attention, but we hope the government will listen."
Senator Ludlam said uranium mining was far more dangerous than other forms of mining, such as nickel.
"This is an industry that is unsafe, unwanted and uneconomical," he said.
"We want these people (the mining companies) to get out of town."
AMWU state secretary Steve McCartney said uranium mining regulation was divided among five government departments and three portfolios.
"There are not many statistics because no one is keeping records," he said.
Dr Pettitt, a sustainability expert, said the rally was aimed at raising awareness about the potential hazards of uranium mining.
"We want to make it clear that the majority of WA people don't want uranium mining," he said.
"It looks like the state government wants to go down the uranium mining path, and for the first time in decades we may actually see uranium mining happen.
"Fremantle has been a nuclear-free city since 2000, and we are against any form of transportation of uranium through Fremantle."
