Talking up uranium

Jim Lloyd, Liberal federal MP, is one of the PM's henchmen to talk up uranium energy on the Central Coast.

Lloyd simply calls for a "debate".

A debate of sorts is happening and what we find is that it is being staged and manipulated by the PM to get his way.

Howard is now emerging as a very dangerous PM, not just for Australia but also for the entire world because Australia owns close to 40% of the world's uranium ore.

Nuclear power plants are (a) extremely costly to build and dismantle, (b) provide energy that is not "cleaner and greener", (c) has the major problem of storing radio active waste, (d) in Australia which is not geologically stable as claimed, (e) is not a renewable source. Exporting the ore to other countries, on the pretense of having a moral responsility to do that, means losing control over its final destination and use.

In a highly insecure world, that is sheer madness, criminal behaviour.

We'll end up with nuclear weapons everywhere.

Could the small "l" liberals remove this PM please?

Or do we have to wait until the next federal election?
