The role of Citizens' Juries in decision-making on nuclear waste importation : Comments

By Noel Wauchope, published 13/5/2016

The Citizens' Jury method has considerable advantages. The members have time to discuss freely with each other. They can question witnesses, and have time to scrutinise the information they receive.

What a joke. If the SA government cannot decide the issue on the information they have from an expensive enquiry, they are not a government at all. What would a minority, called a 'citizens' jury' know about such things?

Certainly the Citizens' Jury from the far flung corners of South Australia and surrounding States (who share the water table) would require travel, accommodation and sitting fees.

And therein lies a financial inducement for a Democratic People's Parliament, in Adelaide, on all matters Nuclear, Health, Waste Dump Planning, Commercial Matters and Associated Infrastructure.

Naturally indigenous interests should be fully represented with full consensus required. The Tribal Upper House should have complete veto power over said Democratic People's Parliamentary deliberations.

As quick and simple (really) as the Government's nuclear power reactor, Uranium Enrichment and Plutonium-Uranium Reprocessing Initiative.

I see, when you need expertise and knowledge you gather about you twelve citizens, who in all likelihood have neither or none!

But a good idea if you want to waste increasingly critical time.

We have had an expensive royal commission which has assembled the facts for consideration, and that process needs to be allowed to continue, to enable fully informed and empowered decision makers to decide on just the merits of the case!

I agree what a joke,

Total waste of money, you have had the royal commission, now build the storage facility. Millions of dollars for the SA economy and Labor can't decide what to do. Pathetic.

Give me millions each year and you can gladly put it all in my back yard.
At least it will be in one place rather than in filing cabinets in crowded hospitals scattered around Australia.

I'm sure some terrorist/nutter would love to get some radioactive waste and put it in our drinking water.

Every politician knows that , when something is too hard to handle, you pass the buck. Pathetic. For what are governments elected?

Hi Alan B

One shouldn't be negative.

Gravy trains await for Adelaide Uni Trannie Trots on Citizen's Juries.

And wrecking noble nuclear intentions will provide excellent training for yet more Bright Young Things who populate South Australian Greens posts in Federal Parliament.
