City Limits - Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons

Wednesday, 28 October 2020 - 9:00am to 10:00am

This week on City Limits we welcome new host Zeb Peake to the Show!

Later we interview long time anti-nuclear campaigner Dave Sweeney to discuss the odd "good news" story.

With Dave, we discuss:

  • BHP scrapping their $4 billion expansion project at the Olympic Dam mine, a function of both low Uranium commodity prices since Fukushima and the instability of the mined product. 
  • Federal government "plan" for a permanent national radioactive waste site in Kimba, SA, and their law changes precluding future legal pushback.
  • The 50th nation ratifying the Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons on Sunday; 22nd January 2021 will mark the day that nuclear weapons will be internationally illegal. 
Wednesday 9:00am to 10:00am
Urban environment issues, analysing government services, both federal and state and local campaigns.
