"Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s promise to power Australia with nuclear
energy has been described by experts as a costly “mirage” that risks postponing
the clean energy transition.

Beyond this, however, the Coalition’s nuclear policy has, for many First
Nations peoples, raised the spectre of the last time the atomic industry came
to Australia.

Indigenous peoples across Oceania share memories of violent histories of
nuclear bomb testing, uranium mining and waste dumping – all of which
disproportionately affected them and/or their ancestors."
