The ban on uranium mining will be reinstated by the Palaszczuk government in QLD. Under the LNP government the state was opened up for exploration and mining despite a decades-long ban. The re-instatement of the ban follows pressure from unions, especially the ETU and AMWU, and community campaigns against the re-opening of mines in Northern and Northwestern QLD. We speak with AMWU national president Andrew Dettmer, David Sewell from the Citizens Against Mining Ben Lomond and Wendy Tubman from the North Queensland Conservation Council.
