What YOUcan do!
Uranium Mining? Queenslanders say NO! A 2005 Morgan Newspoll showed that 70% of Australians are opposed to the development of any new uranium mines. Yet Federal Labor plan to drop their "three mine" policy, Qld will follow suit abandoning their "no mines" policy.
FoE Brisbane and the Queensland Nuclear Free Alliance urge you to make your voice heard on uranium mining.
Go to www.teambeattie.com to find your local Labor member and drop them a line.
