20.01.2022 Thankyou to Pip Hinman and Nick Dean for articulating the case for not overturning the 33 year ban on Uranium Mining in NSW. In the 1970s and '80s the Inner West community campaigned hard for the ban. Pip acknowledge Bruce Threlfo's leadership of this campaign. There were Anti-Uranium Dances in the Balmain and Leichhardt Town Halls https://cs.nga.gov.au/detail.cfm?irn=35282... Sadly the Mayor, Labor and Indepents Clrs Stamolis/Macri felt compelled to put up an amendment to remove point 3 the references to the former Council's "Nuclear Free Zones" in the inner west and a report for new Inner West Council signs to be erected. [point delete 3. Notes the ‘nuclear free zone’ signs throughout the LGA;and receives a report on providing additional 'nuclear free zone' signs incorporating the Inner West Logo"] This was resolved unanimously (Clrs Passas, Raciti and Macri were absent for the vote: That Council 1. Affirms its opposition to any move to lift the 33-year-old ban on uranium mining in NSW; 2. Writes to the NSW Premier and all MPs urging them to support renewable clean energy and jobs solutions; 4. Informs residents of its resolution via a media release and information in the next newsletter; and 5. Puts forward the following motion to the LGNSW Conference: a) NSW Councils oppose any move to lift the ban on uranium mining in NSW b) That LGNSW Councils writes to the NSW Premier and all MPs urging them to support sustainable and clean energy and jobs solutions More at https://perambuler.ramin.com.au//notice-of-motion-uranium-
16.01.2022 The Government has introduced its Recycling and Waste Reduction Bill 2020 and this is the first national waste legislation we’ve seen in over 10 years! It will come before the Senate the week of 9 November (at the earliest). https://www.aph.gov.au//Bills/Bills_Search_Results/Result The problem is, the Government’s bill in its current form does not go far enough to properly tackle our waste crisis, and in particular, Australia's contribution to the scourge of plastic pollut...ion in our oceans. In fact, it doesn’t even deal with reducing plastic packaging! If Scott Morrison was serious about tackling plastic pollution then he would amend the bill to do what they did in the EU and ban some single-use plastics. The best way to reduce the impact of the single-use plastics choking our oceans and killing our marine life is not to produce or consume them in the first place. The Greens have drafted some strong amendments to the Government’s bill that will ban single-use plastics and force big packaging companies to take responsibility for the waste they produce. We are building momentum for the amendments to be supported in the Senate but we need your help. We are asking from now up until the week the bill is introduced that you take one or all of the following actions: Spread the word! Share my post to your Facebook and if you don’t have those you can forward this email on to 10 friends. Call or write to your senators and ask them to support our amendments to the Recycling and Waste Reduction Bill 2020. Find your senators here. More specifically let them know that if they’re serious about fixing the waste and plastic pollution crisis, at the very least we need legislation that: Bans the most common single-use plastics we find in the ocean and; Mandates current voluntary plastic and packaging targets. Our amendments to the Government's bill will do exactly that and if they are supported we can start getting serious about action on marine plastic pollution. The recycling industry, local governments, environment groups and the community all want this especially because many Australian states are already heading in this direction and a federal coordinated approach to banning problematic single-use plastics would be much more effective. The European Parliament took the approach of simply banning the 10 most common single-use plastics found on their beaches and Australia should do the same. Anything short of this will be a waste!

09.01.2022 Today I joined other councillors on the Parramatta River Catchment Group (Our Living River) on a paddle up Duck Creek. It was amazinf o paddle through the wonderful grey mangroves but so very sad to see them draped in the plastic rubbish and other pollution which ends up in our waterways.
