Because of the very poor record of the uranium mining industry to contain spills, of polluting wetlands and failure to report such incidents I consider it very necessary to tighten the regulations governing the industry.

 

The groundwater near the South Australian mines must be protected from contamination that will adversely effect the aquifers for many decades.

 

The Northern Territory mines must be prevented from polluting the wetlands, which are in a World Heritage area, and high environmental standards applied to halt the degradation caused by the mining.

 

Yours sincerely,
