[edited formating and lenght]
As this post in The Point Live today makes clear, **we just don’t know** because we do not have **access** to the information. This is what all #AUKUS discussions, reporting, and editorials **MUST** concentrate on: Our Government’s *Secrecy* bent covering just about everything #Defence including #TierOne and #TierTwo. The only time we have access to information, limited thought it always is, is when #Marles or another #Minister announces some #Industrial news related to Defence or when a boat docks in #Fremantle. The Public has valid questions to ask and is deserving of answers from its representatives in Parliament. Let’s pressure Govt secrecy before we criticise the pros and cons of #AUKUS which we know *bugger all* about it. FFS.

What is at stake with Aukus
By Emma Shortis
As the fallout from that excellent Guardian Australia piece on the US military footprint in Australia continues, the National Indigenous Times has an important story about the impacts of that – and its promised expansion – on Indigenous peoples. As the NIT reports, the Australian Nuclear Free Alliance recently held its annual gathering in Nukunu Country in the Flinders Ranges. The Alliance:united communities concerned about impact from the proposed AUKUS nuclear-powered submarine agreement [and] noted that many places in Australia are threatened by plans for submarine construction, new ports and radioactive waste sites as part of this flawed agreement.
Delegates representing Osborne at Port Augusta in South Australia, Stirling at Meandip (Garden Island) in Western Australia and Port Kembla in New South Wales shared concerns about “the lack of information and meaningful consent, the impacts of a military build-up in those communities, and the risks of nuclear waste”.
Members expressed concern the AUKUS proposal increases pressure from the federal government to find a radioactive waste storage site and for the first time there are now private companies seeking to play a role in nuclear waste management at sites in the Northern Territory and Western Australia.
It’s an important reminder, along with very serious questions about Australian sovereignty, of just what is at stake with the Aukus deal. If you want to hear more about the relationship between Aukus and nuclear weapons and waste, we had Melissa Parke, Executive Director of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) on After America this week. Melissa spoke about the disproportionate impact of nuclear weapons and nuclear waste on Indigenous peoples. “

Source: The Point Live todayOne more point. Australia **must develop** a #NuclearWaste repository regardless of AUKUS in order to relocate the drums of radioactive waste temporarily stored at Australia’s #ANSTO only nuclear reactor site. It’s an issue, yes, and it is what it is, *OUR* waste to be delt with whether we like it or not.

That's an exciting new way for the news to be depressing, I saw this and presumed it was here in #Australia then I found out it's actually in the #USA
The error seems like a bad sign? But I'm not sure what's exactly its a sign of?
Part of why I jumped to the wrong conclusion is that I strongly suspect one of the goals of #AUKUS is that #Australia ends up the dumping ground for our "ally's" spent reactors, we get second hand submarines but I have not heard anything about USA plans to accept returns of the waste?

NUKE WASTE DUMP: #Ojibwe Country once again targeted
May 1, 2025
"#BeyondNuclear’s radioactive waste specialist, Kevin Kamps, presented '#WaterIsLife, #NuclearWasteIsToxic' at the annual meeting of #EnvironmentNorth, in #ThunderBay, #Ontario, Canada, on the north shore of #LakeSuperior, April 23, 2025.
"Environment North is the lead local grassroots organization resisting the Canadian federal #NuclearWaste Management Organization’s (#NWMO, dominated by the nuclear industry, such as #OntarioPowerGeneration - #OPG) designation of the #IgnaceWabigoonLake #OjibwayFirstNation area as the national #RadioactiveWaste dump.
"A number of Ojibway #FirstNation Bands have also passed resolutions opposing the scheme, which would require long-distance, high-risk transportation of highly radioactive waste, from some two-dozen reactors to the east in #Canada, on the Great Lakes, Saint Lawrence, and Atlantic."

When in doubt, dump it on #Indigenous land! But of course!!! <sarc>
In #Hokkaido, #IndigenousLand rights have added another layer to the division of opinions in Suttsu and Kamoenai over whether to host a permanent underground repository for Japan’s #NuclearWaste.

Nuclear semiotics is an interdisciplinary field of research with the goal of communicating nuclear waste warning messages well into the next 10,000 years. Attempts include written messages, physical markers, artificial satellites, and a song designed to be "so catchy and annoying that it might be handed down from generation to generation over a span of 10,000 years".

#Colombia's #Indigenous Demand #AncestralKnowledge is at Forefront of #COP16 #Biodiversity Convention
Indigenous communities from different regions of Colombia march in the southwestern city of #Cali to demand that their ancestral knowledge on #conservation be taken into account at the #UNBiodiversity summit, COP16, which is being held in the city.
Article by #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Oct. 24, 2024
"The United States is the only United Nations member state that has not ratified the Convention on #Biodiversity. While 197 countries arrive in Cali, Colombia for the COP16 Biodiversity Convention, the U.S. is engaged in #WarCrimes and #genocide in #Palestine.
"In the U.S., the team of #Biden and Interior Sec. #DebHaaland plans to desecrate the #Hualapai's sacred ceremonial water with a #LithiumMine; is promoting #LithiumMining digging into the #Paiute Massacre Site at #ThackerPass; is allowing #UraniumMining in the #GrandCanyon threatening Havasupai's aquifer and poisoning their #MedicinePlants with #radioactive dust; allowing #dumping radioactive ore and global radioactive waste in #WhiteMesaUte's community; is bulldozing the ancient village sites, burial places and medicine plants of #TohonoOodham and #SanCarlosApache for a wind energy project; plans a massive #CopperMine from San Carlos #Apache sacred #OakFlat; and plans to increase the radioactivity in the #Pueblo homelands with increased #plutonium production and storage at #LosAlamos Labs in northern #NewMexico."

The incident brought light back on a decades-old issue in the community -- nuclear waste that has seeped into the environment throughout North St. Louis County.
The waste is the product of the country's earliest #nuclear programs. Starting in the 1940s with the Manhattan Project and continuing through the beginning of the Cold War, downtown St. Louis' #Mallickrodt Chemical Works was responsible for processing #uranium ore."

"EPA finds radioactive contamination in more areas of West Lake Landfill
Despite pleas from community members who say the landfill is responsible for mysterious illnesses, federal environmental regulators said Tuesday they can’t provide a timeline for cleanup
Radioactive waste in the West Lake Landfill is more widespread than previously thought, officials from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Tuesday.
The finding is based on two years of testing at the St. Louis County site, which has held thousands of tons of radioactive waste for decades. An underground “fire” in another area of the landfill threatens to exacerbate the issue, which residents believe is responsible for a host of mysterious illnesses."
