SA once again targeted for nuclear waste dump : Comments
By Anica Niepraschk, published 2/5/2016The Flinders Ranges site was nominated by Grant Chapman but he has precious little connection to the land. Conversely, the land has been precious to Adnyamathanha Traditional Owners for millennia.

The writer and protestor sneers that Chapman has "precious little connection to the land", but as lessee of the station he has a damn sight more connection to the land that she her leafy-suburb-living fellow loonies do. As for aborigines whining for help from "all Australians", give me a break! All Australians (except for aborigines) have been helping them with billions of dollars, plus land, for years, and they have done nothing with the land, and wasted the money. Chapman paid for, and uses his, his patch.
Trying to link the former Liberal senator with the federal government is also pretty dopey. The state Labor government is the one who is all for it, having commissioned an enquiry into the possibility.
