Why
NO AUKUS! NO NUKE SUBS! NO NUKE WASTE!
Join us to Reclaim Cockburn Sound and have fun at the same time: Come as a swimmer, spectator, participant in beach activities or as part of the flotilla.
Irrespective of whether Australia ever gets its own nuke subs…
AUKUS means:
- Increased visits of US nuclear powered submarines to HMAS Stirling at Meeandip [Garden Island] - 4 to be stationed there on rotation as of 2027
- "Temporary" storage of US low-level radioactive waste on the island - part of the waste will need to be stored for nearly 300 years.
There is still no determined permanent site.
AUKUS will:
- Bring health, safety and environmental risks if there is a radiation leak
- Risk marine conservation through possible contamination
- Make the area a target should hostilities in the region breakout
- Impact on recreational fishing and marine leisure activities in the Sound
- Undermine cultural values of First Nations Peoples, the rightful custodians of Derbal Nara [Cockburn Sound]
Bring hats, sun screen and water!
