Submission to Ranger and Jabiluka Senate Inquiry

I ask the Senate Inquiry to recommend:
- an overhaul of the present environmental regulatory regime, to provide
greater transparency and independence;
- greater involvement of traditional Aboriginal owners in the establishment
and oversight of any new environmental monitoring and reporting regime;
- more statutory monitoring points at both operations and a greater
frequency of monitoring;
- event-based monitoring, whereby weather events trigger immediate response
monitoring;
- that the so-called 'limit' for uranium concentrations detected in Kakadu
National Park downstream of the operations be reduced from 5.8 parts per
billion to 0.5 parts per billion.
- return unprocessed ore down the Jabiluka decline, which can be cemented in and revegetated
