Despite giving an absolute categorical assurance prior to the last election that the NT would not be targeted for a Federal radioactive waste dump, in June 2005 the Federal Government announced that three Department of Defence sites in the NT would be assessed for suitability.

Brendan Nelson, as Federal Science Minister, queried why on earth can't people in the middle of nowhere have [radioactive] waste?; Current Science Minister Julie Bishop remarked "all the sites in the NT are well away from houses... some distance from any form of civilisation."€

<>Protecting Community, Country and Culture
Remote areas are not uninhabited and lifeless places. Traditional Owners and community members from the proposed dump sites are travelling across the country to express their concerns of how a radioactive dump would irreversibly damage country and culture.
