Uranium: Leave it in the ground!
<http://www.greenleft.org.au/back/2006/667/667p24.htm>

A May 2 Sydney Morning Herald article reported federal Treasurer Peter
Costello's warning that Australia may need to turn to nuclear power as

Around the country, high-school and university students are organising

students in France last month, students in Australia are organising to
strike on June 1 to protest the government's anti-worker laws. [Full
