The jury came up with a sensible decision http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/citizens-jury-on-sa-nuclear-waste-dump-releases-initial-report/news-story/e76096fa7ec07edcbe18ae0b989683dd

But some can't come at the thought the people might decide through a referendum http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-10-29/sa-nuclear-dump-decision-delayed-at-labor-state-conference/7977670

Hi Luciferase

The best laid plans/issues set out by Weatherhill will need to include all Australians or SA's current project won't happen.
- Convincing the Federal Senate, with all its Greens and other-cross benchers, will likely be a major requirement.

Noting Weatherhill is pushing the idea of the first nuclear waste dump on the continent of Australia - the say so will need to be extended to votes/laws/referendum encompasasing all Australians.

Much radiactive waste will reach a SA waste dump by:
- crossing the border (by road-rail) from Lucas Heights (NSW),
- or be shipped from a NSW port to a SA port

Also the Federal Government will have a large role in negotiating/legislating the import of nuclear waste into what is a part of Australia.

So, as I've been saying, the best laid plans/issues set out by Weatherhill will need to include all Australians or SA's current project won't happen.

I am encouraged to read that Trisha Dee is a member of the Citizen's Jury. Here comments that local communities need to determine their own future is the ultimate criterion. However what if Royal Commission evidence for a safer solution had been and was still being, withheld, by the Royal Commission, state and Commonwealth government officers, plus the establishment media, including the Australian's Rebecca Puddy and the ABC?

It would be Trisha reads this and gets back soon via this site!

THE CITIZENs JURY HAS GIVEN A BIG THUMBS DOWN TO STORING WASTE:

Headline "Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission: SA citizen's jury vote against storing nuclear waste"

Claire Campbell of ABC News Online 6 November 2016 - at http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-11-06/sa-citizen%27s-jury-vote-against-storing-nuclear-waste/7999262 reports

Two thirds of a citizen's jury deliberating the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission do not want South Australia to store high-level nuclear waste "under any circumstances".

The jury of more than 300 randomly selected people delivered its 50-page report to Premier Jay Weatherill on Sunday evening after deliberating on the issue across three weekends in October and November.

The report outlined concerns with the economics of the proposal, trust, safety and a lack consent, particularly from Aboriginal elders.

"Many jurors believe we don't have the right to make a decision that will have such long term and irreversible consequences for future generations," the report stated.

Will South Australia follow Finland?

South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill travelled to Finland to inspect a nuclear waste dumping system.

"Many jurors say 'no' to the state being a dump due to consent, economics, trust and safety and we should cease spending any further public funds.

"The long-term viability of the project is in doubt as it does not consider new technology providing alternatives for the use of the waste; this undermines the economics to the project."

The verdict is in but the debate is not over."

The verdict is in but the debate is not over

But Premier Weatherill says even though the majority of jurors had voted against the proposal, it was not the end of the debate.

"The status quo is no. This jury doesn't believe the present proposal should be taken forward but we need to take into account a whole range of other broad community views," he said.

"This is what we did this for to understand what exactly people were thinking and why they were thinking it, to assist us to make our decision.

"I will now review their report and weigh it up against all of the other data compiled over the past few months."

Juror Alex Tennikoff said he had a lot of concerns with the Citizen's Jury process and doubted the State Government would accept no for an answer.

"The process was sort of fast and well organised but sort of steered in one direction for a yes vote but then the no vote came through which is what we were all really after," he said.

"They've got the verdict today, they'll go to the office tomorrow and there's Plan B that comes out."

Another juror Fuzzy Trojan said he was also happy with the outcome.

"Too many unknowns and too many risks," he said.

Cabinet will consider the jury's report on Monday with the Government to deliver its own report on the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission by the end of the year."

As I said previously, a complete waste of time and money. Prejudices won as expected.
