SNAP RALLY: No Uranium Mining NSW
12.30pm. Wednesday, 22 February 2012
Outside NSW Parliament House, Macquarie Street, Sydney
Bring friends, banners, signs ...
The O'Farrell government has introduced legislation to overturn a 26‐year ban on uranium exploration in NSW, opening the way for future proposals to mine and export uranium.
The NSW government has no mandate for uranium mining in NSW. This issue was not raised at the election and, until recently, Premier O'Farrell maintained that government had 'no plans' to overturn the ban.
Join us outside Parliament House this Wednesday to show the Government that community opposition to uranium mining runs deep in NSW.
Mining and transport of uranium poses real risks to local communities and the environment, and will leave our state with a lasting radioactive legacy.
The State government's insatiable appetite for mining royalties must not come at the expense of our health, water resources and the environment.
See you there!
Please share with your family, friends and networks.
