On this week’s episode, we speak to Sanne de Swart, Coordinator of the Nuclear Free Collective at Friends of the Earth Melbourne, and has been part of the anti-nuclear struggle since 2011 when she joined the ‘Walk Away from Uranium Mining’ event in solidarity with Aboriginal people to push for a ban on uranium mining in Western Australia. With the Coalition’s power plan having thrust nuclear energy into the public sphere, I spoke to Sanne about the realities of this proposal, the dangers of nuclear energy and radioactivity as well as the long history of First Nations activism and organising against the nuclear and uranium mining industries. This conversation first aired on 3CR Tuesday Breakfast on June 25 2024.//Resources:Don't Nuke the Climate websiteDon't Nuke the Climate Facebook PageDon't Nuke the Climate Instagram Page Friends of the Earth's statement on the climate announcement and Gippsland says NO to nuclear petition.
