 Submission to Ranger and Jabiluka Senate Inquiry

I urge the Senate Inquiry to recommend:
 - an overhaul of the present environmental regulatory
regime, to provide greater transparency and
independence; 
 - greater involvement of traditional Aboriginal
owners in the establishment and oversight of any new
environmental monitoring and reporting 
regime; 
 - more statutory monitoring points at both operations
and a greater frequency of monitoring;
 - event-based monitoring, whereby weather events
trigger immediate response monitoring;
 - that the so-called 'limit' for uranium
concentrations detected in Kakadu National Park
downstream of the operations be reduced from 5.8 parts

per billion to 0.5 parts per billion.
 - return unprocessed ore down the Jabiluka decline,
which can be cemented in and revegitated.
