Bush and Howard plan Australian nuclear dump
<http://www.greenleft.org.au/back/2006/671/671p3.htm>

US President George Bush has proposed that Australia and Canada -- the
world's major uranium exporting countries -- join with the US to form a
marketing cartel, the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership. They would
enrich the uranium, then `rent' their nuclear fuel rods out to user
countries and take back the waste. Under the Bush plan, Maralinga would
become the world's principal site for dumping used nuclear fuel rods.

New law treats trade unionists like terrorists
<http://www.greenleft.org.au/back/2006/671/671p24.htm>

Rob Stary is a leading criminal defence lawyer in Victoria and an
outspoken defender of civil liberties. He has defended many victims of
the federal and state governments' anti-worker and `anti-terror' laws.
On the basis of his wide experience, Stary argues that the new
`anti-terrorism' and industrial relations laws are strongly interlinked
in their criminalisation of political and industrial dissent. [Full
