How should we judge a government?

In Malaysia, if you don't watch television or read newspapers, you are uninformed; but if you do, you are misinformed!

"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience - Mark Twain

Why we should be against censorship in a court of law: Publicity is the very soul of justice … it keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial. - Jeremy Bentham

"Our government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no
responsibility at the other. " - Ronald Reagan

Is Lynas factory for processing our own radioactive waste?

Could there be such a BIG miscommunication because Australia is 'down under' that the information seems to be direct opposites?

From website of Kuantan's MP, Fuziah Salleh: http://fuziahsalleh.my/?p=657

On the 7th April 2011,Hon Robin Chapple, MP for the Green Party Australia asked this Question in the West Australian Parliament.

222. Hon ROBIN CHAPPLE to the Minister for Mines and Petroleum:

I refer to Fuziah Salleh, member of the Malaysian Parliament for Kuantan constituency in Pahang, calling for thorium waste from the Lynas Corporation Advanced Materials Plant at the industrial port of Kuantan to be returned to Western Australia.

(1) Does the WA government support Fuziah Salleh’s call?

(2) If no to (1), why not?

(3) If yes to (1), how will the government allow this material into WA, given it would need to meet the standards required under regulation 9AD of the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations 1956?



Hon NORMAN MOORE replied:

I thank the member for some notice of this question.

(1) No.

(2) The Western Australian government does not support the importation and storage of other countries’

radioactive waste.

(3) Not applicable.
