Tomorrow the Australian Senate will debate the National Radioactive Waste Management Bill. The Traditional Owners of the site in the bill, the Muckaty Land Trust are deeply divided over this issue. A Federal Court case contesting the nomination and selection process has been brought by some of these traditional owners. This case has not yet been heard. Ask the Senate to wait until the case has been heard before they consider the bill: http://www.oxfam.org.au/act/take-action/close-the-gap/2011-06-stop-parliamentary-debate-on-radioactive-waste-legislation
