Boils down to the fact that the processing of rare earths leaves over radioactive wastes. Not highly radioactive, but high enough that it's an issue to deal with.
Lynas believed things would be easier to do in Malaysia, but the locals have - probably rightly - jacked up over it as they don't quite trust their Government to ensure the proper treatment of this waste.
Only have to look at the Morwell coal mine fire to see how things can go wrong when you let companies self assess their obligations.
Absolutely and isn't it Bob Hawke that is saying we should consider being a storage facility for depleted waste?
Also, from what I read in W.A, the Morewell fires were deliberately lit.lol
Jeez, I think everyone is in for a big wake up call .
All the while, the encounter was being filmed by one of the students, Aria McCarthy-Lochner, who described Abbott’s performance as one where he “avoids and waffles”.
What asylum seekers IF ?
We're not getting too many by boat now.
I also note that Julia Gillard copped the sanger, un-grilled.
The sanger was nothing compared to what she ultimately copped from her own party.Get a kick out of juvenile delinquency, do you Smith?
A fun day out for some brainless ideologues.Have a look at some of the banners.
+1By the way I have no interest or holding in them, just see it as another company trying to rip out our minerals and value add offshore.
It really is the root cause of our problems.IMO
This is the issue the Government has to address, value adding here, is just as easy as in Malaysia.
I think the real concern is about cars per se, but that mining is ultimately a dead end at some unknown future time.Why is it even so necessary for us to make cars?
The fire was most likely deliberately lit, but the fact is IF the mine had been properly secured the fire would definitely not have been as bad as it was.
Parts of Australia probably would make for a decent long term storage facility of nuclear waste
I'm not sure how big a nuclear renaissance the world is going to see at those kinds of fixed prices. Makes wind power look cheap.
Thanks DB. It wouldn't be ok if directed at Gillard or Plibersek. But seemingly quite alright if Tony Abbott is the target. That's not hypocritical at all in Lefty Land.Apparently there was a march in Melbourne today. Over something. Who knows. From the pictures I saw, it all looked like uni students. 'Meh..

The difference is that those banners are much more offensive than ditch-the-witch.I don't see Gillard or Plibersek in front of the banner?
See if you can work out the difference.
