Uranium ore is already freighted on trucks in to Perth which is allowed.
What people fail to understand is that gold mines often have uranium ore and
other minerals which get seperated here in Perth.

The gold miners are starting to get worried. If Carpenter bans anything to
do with uranium on trucks or any other form of transport then they hav eto 
close.

I believe an ad about this will be aired this Thursday along with other 
scientists
holding a chunk of ore with a guider counter which shows more radiation from 
a
persons watch on their wrist than what is in the ore. Everything emits 
radiation of
some kind.

The ALP here in WA are going to look mighty foolish when these ads air
on Thursday evening. One of the ads is that uranium ore is being freighted 
into
Perth from the Gold Mines which Carpenter allows which is the exact same ore
he's against.

Then there is the medical use of Nuclear Medicine which is in most of the
hospitals in Perth and every other city around the world.
