On this week’s show we speak to 3 people from the Hawker community and get their views on the $2 million community development fund that the Federal government has allocated to them, ostensibly regardless of whether the proposed radioactive waste dump goes ahead in their region.  We speak to Robert Webb, Greg Bannon and Regina MacKenzie.

Details of the fund can be found here:
