What about some policy on that Uranium mine? Or the idea to build tall buildings in Alice Springs?
I do not support the mining of uranium anywhere in Central Australia. Nor do I support the storage of radioactive waste here or the transport of it through the region.
How tall is tall? How long is a piece of string? The new Melanka is the dawning of a new era in the Central Australian landscape. We won’t be having sky-scrapers. The Melanka project is not high-rise – it’s medium. Now that we’ve approved buildings to the 5 storey level instead of 3, we have grown the capacity for new growth in the CBD while still maintaining the ambiance and special spirit of our unique town.
So are you opposed to Uranium Mining (as well as Nuclear Energy) in general or just in relation to the Central Australia region? Where do you propose we do store the waste then? When you cut through all the political spin; the low population, relative isolation and geographic stability DO make Central Australia an excellent candidate.
So the Melanka thing is going ahead? That’s great news!
I’m not opposed to the development of uranium mining – just not 20km from Alice Springs with no guarantee that our water supply won’t be affected. The area already decimated by nuclear testing in South Australia in the 1950s is my preferred site for storing waste. It’s already ‘dead’ (have you ever driven through it)?
The dawning of the new Melanka project is a huge positive for development and thriving of Alice Springs. I’m currently considering the option of purchasing one of the penthouse potentials.
Hmmm the place in south Australia would be a really good idea now that you mention it. But if there is uranium in Alice springs it will have already affected our water supply, as far as I can work out anyway (in regards to radiation and such). But it’s nice to here a (future) politician being rationale about it for a change.
A few other issues I’d like to know your opinion on (although they are admititly more federal than state based). How do you feel about the InternetCensorship plan, the R18+ video game rating, the Republic, Boat People/Border Protection and Rudds new supertax?
