Dutton’s “nuclear thought bubble” must have broken out

Nuclear disaster

Thanks, Peter Garrett, for saying it as if it were in his poorly conceived, expensive and dangerous nuclear energy policy of the coalition (“I spent my life fighting nuclear power: here’s what Dutton does not tell you about his reactors“March 30). Peter Dutton and his Have Been Allewed To Get Away With Their Ridiculous Nuclear Thought Bubble For Too Long. The Labor Party Has Been Relativel Weak in Its Criticism of What is Essentially a” Smoke and Mirrors “Idea to present an alternative to Developing Renewable Energy And to Appeara The Fossil Fuel Lobby in The Bargain.

Thank you very much, Peter Garrett, for your in -depth article. You have eloquently summarized my thoughts and the fear of Australia that descends into the hole of the rabbit of nuclear energy. As a child, I witnessed the psychological stress of the Cold War when we thought that our world could end up every day, with Russia and America in full conflict. This is why the Australians have turned their backs on the nuclear nuclear centuries ago. For those of my era who read Peter’s article, please share it with your children and have to share among their friends. I still have to see a cloud of mushrooms from a solar or hydroelectric panel pumped. Ray Gilmour, Blaxland

Peter Garrett’s article produces very convincing points. Another negative aspect of these proposed nuclear reactors is the amount of cooling water that is necessary to work. These hypothetical nuclear reactors would require at least double the water of the existing electric coal power plants, yet we live in the driest inhabited continent. These reactors sound like another Mr Dutton thought bubble.

Now in the late 80s, it seems that I have to join again with events against the proposal for nuclear energy in Australia. However, the crucial question is: where in Australia the nuclear waste will be stored for hundreds of years? Like Peter Garrett, I thought I won this topic decades ago. Else Gelling, merimbula

System that fails vulnerable

It is terribly sad and simply not good enough for an apparently civil society when the health system does not work, in particular for our most vulnerable (““This would never have had to happen”: because almost 100 admissions made only the patient“, March 30). Fixing that should be at the center of the next elections. But we must also remember the thousands that are working within that system and do their best for all of us with not sufficient resources. My husband recently had to call an ambulance for me. I was in great pain.

How incredibly sad to read the story of Bec Sewell and all lives have changed immeasuably from his death (“How much more parents have to lose their children to a system that fails our most vulnerable?“March 30). However, it is more than sad to read the words at the foot of the article -” Lifeline 13 11 14 “. Definitely the media, with its influence on the government, can do better than this. I was a volunteer of the Save telephone crisis, he recommended to call Lifeline in the event of an urgent event.
