Podcast appearances and mentions of Dave Sweeney

Dave Sweeney (pictured) stood on Melbourne's Collins St and told the crowd of about 30 why nuclear power stations are a bad idea and a step backwards for Australia. Dave, a nuclear-free campaigner with the Australian Conservation Foundation, was also the co-founder of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), two things about which he is passionate and subsequently deeply committed. He loves his work and, he believes, it helps pay his "planetary rent" The December 3, Collins St, Melbourne nuclear power station protest during which Dave spoke was organized by the city's office of "Friends of The Earth". Listen to this episode and Dave talks about why he helped set up the Nobel Peace Prize-winning ICAN and what international success means, personally and for the group

The Melbourne office of Friends of the Earth organized a Collins St protest outside a building that was the venue for a Federal Government inquiry into the Liberal National Party's idea that Australia should build and commission seven nuclear power stations throughout the nation. More than 30 people joined the noisy but peaceful demonstration. While passers-by were left with no doubt the nuclear power stations were too expensive, too dangerous and too slow, those attending had the chance to listen to several exciting, articulate and far-seeing speakers, including two people from the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize-winning International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), Associate Professor Tilman Ruff (pictured) and Dave Sweeney who is also with the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF). Representatives of the Melbourne-based "Lighter Footprints" and the "Kooyong Climate Change Alliance" and a passionate Danae Bosley from the Victorian Trades Hall Council also spoke.

Dave Sweeney has spent much of his life campaigning against the use of nuclear materials. For his efforts working with a group of colleagues at ICAN - the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons - he won a Nobel Peace Price in 2017.This is a story of the work he has done. For those curious about the history and risks of nuclear and to better understand some of the debate that is going on right now around nuclear energy, this is an episode worth listening to.

There's trouble a-brewing in Hastings, where mere months after a successful campaign against AGL's liquefied natural gas project, dirty brown-coal hydrogen exports have crept in—and this time with no publicly available plans, no environmental effects statement, and no community consultation! Meg and Kevin kick off energy week interviewing Julia Stöckigt, campaigner with Save Westernport, about the potentially disastrous effects at every step of this dirty H2 project, and how the community is pushing back.  To find out more, check out Save Westernport, and the Western Port Peninsula Protection Council websites.  Later, we speak with Dave Sweeney, anti-nuclear campaigner with the ACF, to get the lowdown on what is happening with the cleanup of the Rio Tinto Ranger uranium mine in NT (spoiler alert: a good news story), the European Commission proposing nuclear and gas as energy sources for long-term climate change goals, and how the flooding of Kimba SA, Barngarla country, is yet another reflection of the inappropriateness of the area as a dump site for Australia's radioactive waste. We also say a (hopefully temporary) au revoir to host Meg Kimber while she takes a well-earned hiatus from radio broadcasting.   

Joining us this Friday morning to talk about the current and future impact of nuclear and uranium issues, we have three stellar guests, well actually two stellar guests and one stellar activist group!

On Today's show we celebrate with Mirarr Traditional owners about the returning of their land after a four-decades long fight for traditional ownership at Jabiru, within the World-Heritage listed Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory. In late June this year, Mirrar Traditional owners were granted freehold title over the town of Jabiru, under the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act, the first of its kind in Australia. This fight for land rights, has been led by senior traditional owner Yvonne Margarula, and begun in 1978 when the town was built on what was then Crown land without the involvement or permission of Traditional Owners. The native title claim was lodged by Yvonne Margarula in 1998, which was finally decided by the Federal Court in 2016 after one of Australia's longest-running native title matters.This week we hear from Corben Mudjandi, a Mirarr Traditional Owner and nephew of Yvonne, who tells us about the response of the community and the plans for Jabiru now that it's been handed back. We also speak to Kirsten Blair from the Gundjehmi Aboriginal Coorporation about the history of the land rights struggle, the impacts of the Ranger Uranium mine, and what it means for the future of Jabiru. And, although this is a celebration, we also hear about the problems associated with the Ranger Uranium Mine rehabilitation plan from long-time anti-nuclear campaigner with the Australian Conservation Foundation, Dave Sweeney.

While covid-19 understandably dominates the headlines, important environmental news risks being marginalised. Take the annual Australia-wide State of Environment Report, declaring 2019 “probably the worst year in a century.” Conservationists warn governments are also weakening environmental protections, exactly at a time when the voters are too busy with a pandemic to notice. Understorey dips into a pre-covid example, examining emails and letters obtained through Freedom of Information about the Yeelirrie uranium mine approval. Hours before the 2019 election was called, from her Geraldton electoral office the Minister for the Environment signed off the necessary federal approvals for Cameco to mine uranium until 2043. Apart from casting aside scientific concern for threatened species protections, the Minister took into account the advice given by a Resources Minister. The government's current review into the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 could widen the democratic deficit. Dave Sweeney from the Australian Conservation Foundation hopes people will make submissions,[now open](https://environment.au.citizenspace.com/epbc-review/epbc-act-review-submission-discussion-paper/) until April 17th, to call for more EPBC independence.

This week on the show we'll be looking to the Northern Territory as they edge one step closer to being nuclear free! On June 11th Energy Resources Australia announced that they would no longer be pursuing a feasibility study for the Ranger 3 Deeps project which they had hoped would extend the life of the Ranger uranium mine in Kakadu National Park. Dave Sweeney and Lauren Mellor join us with that story.This announcement comes one year after the incredible win by Muckaty Traditional Owners and their supporters who campaigned for 9 years to stop the imposition of a nuclear waste dump in the Northern Territory. June 19th marked one year since the Commonwealth Government and Northern Lands Council withdrew the proposal mid way through a Federal Court Case that challenged the nomination of Muckaty Station as a site for a National radioactive Waste Dump. We hear some reflections from Muckaty Traditional Owner Dianne Stokes and a poem by Isobel Phillips titled 'Our Land'. The poem was recorded at the time of the initial celebrations.

Dwell among these thoughts on the nuclear industry, sacred land and the movements that inspire us from poets both fresh and seasoned.Put down the news for half an hour and take heart from these creative outpourings of sadness, reflection, rage and inspiration.Readings from Dave Sweeney, Isobel Phillips, Adam Sharah, Beth Hill, Greg, Alex McInnes, Livinthefinite and Taeko.
