There's a new twist on this story at <http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/09/02/2352720.htm>
where the Libs are complaining about the ALP adverts.

Methinks, no surprise, that they have not thought this through.

On the one hand you've got their running dogs here droning on about how the ores are safe and
how it is "already on trucks through Perth and has been for decades", but on the other hand Mr
Porter is compaining about the Libs being mis-represented about trucks through Perth!

Can't have it both ways!

(Aside.  When Mr Porter was elected recently at a by-election I received one of his electoral
circulars - distributed at taxpayer expense I suspect.  But I don't even live in the electorate.
Whoops).

Any rock which contains only a trace of uranium cannot be said to be a uranium ore.

Yes, this uranium is going to be made into even "safer"
radioactive stuff at taxpayer expense ultimately.

We would never get to the stage of refining it or doing something with 
it, just as we didn't for iron ore. We are the rock quarry.
We can barely afford our own gas so how we would ever afford uranium.... 
We also can't safely handle gas, and uranium (past yellowcake) is harder.
You mean the taxpayer expense of the imported workers to actually do the 
extra work? Notice how it suddenly became uneconomical when it was 
suggested the companies share some of the expenses of that?
