Port Augusta says No to Nuclear Power
A bus load of First Nations delegates has travelled from Port Augusta to Adelaide to share a strong message with the man who wants to impose a nuclear power station on their community.
The group is assembling at a Liberal Party campaign event at 5.30 this afternoon at the Arkaba Hotel, 150 Glen Osmond Road, Fullarton in the ultra-marginal electorate of Sturt where Opposition Leader Peter Dutton is expected to attend.
The group, representing nine Aboriginal Nations from central and northern South Australia, has travelled to Adelaide to share their concern about the Coalition’s nuclear power plans and to spread their simple message of resistance.
Clinton Dadleh, an Arabunna man and spokesperson for the delegation, said:
“Mr Dutton refuses to visit the sites where he wants these reactors. We’ve come to him to deliver this simple message: Port Augusta says no to nuclear power.
“There are so many great things we could do in Port Augusta, so many things we’d rather have before a nuclear power station. If Mr Dutton visited he’d see a community with lots of ideas for a bright future that doesn’t involve toxic waste.”
When Peter Dutton confirmed that he wouldn’t visit any of the seven sites, the communities responded with a joint statement.
Last week in his address to the press club, David Littleproud claimed to have clear social licence from all seven sites where reactors are proposed.
The Port Augusta delegation strongly rejects this claim and calls on Mr Dutton to abandon his absurd and dangerous nuclear power policy.

Dutton and Notproud full of shit?Who knew?
Goodbye , you total wankers.If knobhead doesn’t get a job with his ugly puppeteer, he might jag a pump jockey gig…he has the experience now.Although he’d probably need to wear a mask…can’t have the punters skidding out of the forecourt.
What a glorious piece of dissent and protest. Nuclear energy plants – Australia does not need. Apart from being a Temu Trump- this has been the most unpopular LNP projection of their policies- until today when the Temu Shadow Chancellor told everybody there would be some “pain”. The economy may go into deficit for 2 years but would pick up afterwards?
Echo’s of Trump’s words from Airforce 1 about the pain of tariffs on American citizens- likening the pain to be endured to be medicinal, and all will be cured! The (Shadow Chancellor) says on 7.30 programme tonight – after 2 years the LNP will have it all sorted!
Such fiction- but “Well Done Angus” is hoping he might be leader of the LNP. It will surely never be Sussan despite her strange beliefs in numerology.
I have ever ever seen such a tribe or herd of conservative wildlife, snorters, biters, spitters, shitters, scars, scum, scammers, scrofulous scabby schemers, as this rabble. The nation needs intelligent professional workers, not greedy dreamy pretender rejects.
