To: Australian Commonwealth Government

We, the undersigned, ask the Australian Government and Environment
Minister the Honourable Peter Garrett to halt the expansion of the
Olympic Dam uranium mine in South Australia.

We hold that the risks to human health, safety, the environment and
future generations are too great. The mine will add to the already
massive radioactive and toxic tailings and waste, inject acid and
toxic chemicals into the water table thereby risking our water supply
and endangering the mound springs held sacred by the local Arabunna
and Barngala peoples. The destination of the uranium mined is in no
way assured. We cannot guarantee that Australian uranium will not end
up in nuclear weapons.

Indeed the only guarantee we can have is that this mine and it's
products will generate intractable, dangerous radioactive waste which
there is no safe method of storage.

The small profit to be made by a private corporation by mining this
uranium does not outweigh the risk to the public good.

Sincerely,
