They've resuscitated the plan for South Australia as the world's nuclear waste dump : Comments
By Noel Wauchope, published 11/2/2014Exquisite timing, because the South Australian election is on February 15, and Krieg's talk on this prestigious science program is the last effort of that State's nuclear lobby to get their cause up as an election issue.

About the only reason for settling there was it avoided the dangerous trip through Bass strait, & the hard slog up the east coast, [in a sailing ship], to get to Sydney. Still I suppose the same could be said about Melbourne.
So South Oz is not much use for anything, & if we have enough sense to never build another navy vessel there, no work either. It is also a serious economic drag on the east & west of the country, which is becoming harder to support.
One of the few things they have been good at is digging up uranium, so they would probably be good at burying the used stuff too. There would only be a couple of hundred thousand people required then, for a short but rich & happy life in the radiation, & the rest could migrate to somewhere with enough water to sustain life as we know it.
So that's South Oz taken care of, all we have to do now is get rid of Tasmania. What are the chances of giving it to the Kiwis? Yer, they are not that dumb. How about we give it to the boat people, but without all the foreign aid we poor into the place now? Would it drift away if we cut the tow rope?
Hell in just 5 minutes planning we have the rest of Oz back in the financial land of the living. See things aren't that hard really.
