Letter: Hands off

Published 31 December 2013

From Ailsa Mathiessen

I find John Crowhurst’s letter proposing Australia’s outback as a dumping ground for the world’s nuclear waste offensive (30 November, p 33). It is arrogant to ignore the original inhabitants of this land, who continue to live there. We really don’t want this country used as a dumping ground for any form of waste, nuclear or otherwise.
