Mr Carpenter has an ad campaign claiming that Radio active Uranium Ore will be going past schools to the freo port. What a load of rot. Any ore out of the Kimberly which is where the Uranium is goes to a Kimberley Port where there are rail lines. Uranium Ore is not radio active. If it was there would be thousands of dead workers which handle the ore by hand every day of the week. Nuclear Waste is a by product from nuclear reactors. I cannot believe the media in WA not looking at these false ads at all. People are believing it in the masses. WA has to be the worst educated state in Australia. People are believing that uranium ore is radio active because the premier is saying that. Come on Perth media do your job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Libs ought to do an ad from South Aust showing miners handling the uranium ore. Or ever gone campaign up north. You've probably walked over uranium ore. WA has 40% of the world's uranium deposit. Get it out of the ground and sell to China and fix their carbon problems or leave it in the ground and sell coal to China which is what is causing pollution problems the world over. If WA was to sell uranium they would get the world carbon levels down. Surely its worth doing. And the money it would bring to the state would be $15 billion per year which could pay for all the problems that WA now has. Would get unemplyment down even further.

Yellowcake emits low amounts of radiation, probably not enough to cause health damage except from intimate exposure over an extended time. It has a chemical toxicity similar to lead or mercury. The world over, care is taken in its handling and transport and people in various locations have objected to its free transit.

Bullshit , uranium ore does have low levels of radiation in it's natural state (U235 & U238 ) and it is refined into yellow cake that has a higher concentration of radioactive elements. Also Yellow Cake if fairly toxic to people , it is a heavy metal , just like mercury and lead. Why don't you get your facts straight , I bet you don't even live in WA , and have no idea where are the iron ore ports are located , not to mention the fact that the rail lines from the iron ore depostis to the ports are PRIVATELY OWNED , so you will have quite a problem trying to get access to those rail lines as was the case recently . > > Nuclear Waste is a by product from nuclear reactors. > I cannot believe the media in WA not looking at these false ads at all. > People are believing it in the masses.

Correction , it would NOT bring massive amounts of money to the state Gov , all the uranium mining profits would go to Barnett's mates in the big business sector. All the crap about uranium you are dribbling about is not for the benefit of the WA community , it is all for the Liberals and Barnetts mates in the multinational companies , particularly the mates of Malcolm Turnbull who have already formed a company to build nuclear reactors in Aust.

WA is built on mining. Large scale mining can only be done by big companies.

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.

Another moron taht has no clues or ideas. Most mines in WA extract Uranium Ore with minerals like Gold. Then its sent to Perth to remove the urtanium ore to be left with the Gold. No one has died or been eradiated by uranium ore. In SA miners touch the uranium ore with their hands you fool. Its so safe. If it was deadly where are all the bodies fool. The unions allow members to work for companies that mine for Uranium in SA fool. > >> >> Nuclear Waste is a by product from nuclear reactors. >> I cannot believe the media in WA not looking at these false ads at all. >> People are believing it in the masses. > > Then the media should also be looking at the false and deceptive adverts > that Barnett is using.

Not one single death by radiation. There are over 20,000 miners on those 160 uranium mines and the mines have been in operation for 30 years and not a single person has died from radiation poising which makes you just another left wing loony that knows absolutely nothing at all. >> Or ever gone campaign up north.

This coming from such a corrupt government such as the ALP. The CCC has 5 ALP ministers that were forced to resign over corruption. And another two that are so bent they don't know what is legit. M Roberts will likely be in jail before to much longer over the unit affair. Then there is Fran Logan who failed to properly inspect the gas line that it exploded, was probably to busy having sex party with those threesomes that he organises. ALP the most corrupt state government even out doing Burke an dhis cronies that all went to jail. Libs get in there will be a royal commision into all this and many will end up in jail. Already a federal senate inquiry about to be set up in Canberra.

That's what the big companies said about blue asbestos back in the 1940s - 50s Just because the workers don't show any adverse symptoms immediatly doesn't mean that they have none , maybe they will show illness / cancers in 10 - 20 years time for mining uranium.

So if you think it is safe , then why don't you move to SA then ? At least I know how to spell AUSTRALIA Correction , there is not 160 uranium mines in SA for the last 30 years , South Australia has only 3 uranium mines going by the press release by the SA Gov in January 2008 and they are :Honymoon , Olympic Dam and Beverly <http://www.pir.sa.gov.au/minerals/press/south_australias_third_uranium_mine_approved>http://www.uraniumsa.org/http://www.uic.com.au/emine.htmMaybe the so called "160 Uranium Mines in South Austrqalia" ( note spelling! ) are really just exploration licenses or claims/ proposed mines , orperhaps you have googled wrong and come up with SA as in SOUTH AFRICA.Probably you have been reading little Johnny Howard's bible about hisuranium empire if he had won the Nov 2007 federal election.I think you are the real moron around here.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Naked DSL ?No thanks , I like to wear clothes when I use my computerSandgroper------------------------------------Remove KNICKERS to Emailwoodbudgie@KNICKERSgmail.com

The WA Electrical Commission is looking into it and they say that the ad is misleading and it could cause another state election if the ALP win this one. It was on Perth ABC1 this evening. You claimed I did not even live here so how would I be able to see the news fool. Does anyone bother to think in the ALP before doing an ad. Do they not understand the laws governing elections? I'm a Perth miner who flies in and out of Port Hedland. I work 3 weeks and have 10 days off. Many of my mates are not happy with Carpenter at all and are going to approach him about all this nonsense on uranium ore which is going to effect the iron ore industry who we work for. If they are going to ban uranium everything then we are out of a job because its well known that uranium ore along with other metals are in with iron ore. I get paid $180,000 a year and Carpenter is risking all that and will end the BOOM in WA. I've sent emails to the WA Union over this and they too are not happy and are about to do their own ads on this along with the mining companies. Carpenter brought this on himself for cheap politics and now its coming back to haunt him. Good on the ABC for reporting it. A march on Parliament house is organized for this Friday over this fiasco. Miners, unions and workers will be there in force. Media outlets will be notified.

That's what the big companies said about blue asbestos back in the 1940s - 50s Just because the workers don't show any adverse symptoms immediatly doesn't mean that they have none , maybe they will show illness / cancers in 10 - 20 years time for mining uranium. Also the mining sector , particulary in WA have a very bad work safety record. <snip> > 160 Uranium Mines in South Austrqalia and growing. Not one single death > by radiation.

So if you think it is safe , then why don't you move to SA then ? At least I know how to spell AUSTRALIA Correction , there is not 160 uranium mines in SA for the last 30 years , South Australia has only 3 uranium mines going by the press release by the SA Gov in January 2008 and they are : Honymoon , Olympic Dam and Beverly http://www.pir.sa.gov.au/minerals/press/south_australias_third_uranium_mine_approved http://www.uraniumsa.org/ http://www.uic.com.au/emine.htm Maybe the so called "160 Uranium Mines in South Austrqalia" ( note spelling! ) are really just exploration licenses or claims/ proposed mines , or perhaps you have googled wrong and come up with SA as in SOUTH AFRICA. Probably you have been reading little Johnny Howard's bible about his uranium empire if he had won the Nov 2007 federal election. I think you are the real moron around here. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Naked DSL ?

The state is flat out mining iron and the workers would just migrate to uranium for more money still, leaving us to accommodate "guest workers" to cover the existing industry... if they can be found at all. No net advantage except you pull more money and raise the cost of living for everyone else.
