Members of the Northern Territory No Waste Alliance attended the Country Liberal Party (CLP) conference on August 26th, held at Mirambeena Resort, Darwin, to alert the party delegates and passersby that voter concerns around proposed nuclear facilities in the NT are not being adequately addressed.

“We called upon the CLP to fully acknowledge the concerns of Territorians about further development of nuclear facilities. There is strong opposition to the proposed Commonwealth nuclear waste dump yet CLP elected representatives seem to be disregarding the opinion of their constituents and forging ahead with their own grand visions of a Nuclear Territory” stated Nat Wasley from the No Waste Alliance (NWA) , Alice Springs.
Added Justin Tutty from NWA Darwin, “The latest idea by David Tollner to develop a uranium processing facility in the NT would further entrench the Territory in the nuclear cycle, generating more radioactive waste and increasing pressure for development of a waste dump here that would remain dangerous for the next few thousand years”
Added Ms Wasley; “the CLP had the option of sticking to their motto of being “The Territory Party” and throwing out David Tollner’s ridiculous suggestion of uranium processing in the NT. The No Waste Alliance suggested that the CLP also throw out their pro-nuclear politicians who are not adequately representing the interests of their constituents, but unfortunately both Senator Nigel Scullion and MP Dave Tollner were re-endorsed”.
A couple of people present at the action entered the conference room through the conveniently unlocked back door, but were promptly (physically) escorted back outside by one of the party faithful, who proclaimed his right to use “reasonable force” to protect the CLP members from hearing public opinion on NT nuclear issues.
