UnionsACT has joined with a broad coalition of faith, union, environmental, Aboriginal and public health groups, representing millions of Australians, who has come together to send a clear message to federal politicians that our energy future is renewable, not radioactive.
The groups have released a shared statement in response to the federal parliamentary inquiry into prospects for nuclear power in Australia. Public submissions to the inquiry close today.
For many decades, UnionsACT has proudly stood with nuclear-free campaigners, and we oppose Australia creating a domestic nuclear energy industry. UnionsACT also calls for the complete abolition of all nuclear weapons.
