URANIUM mining inside Australia's largest national park means long-term environmental damage and negative impacts on the lives of the Aboriginal traditional owners.

The controversial Ranger uranium mine has a history of leaks, spills and breaches. The Mirarr people and the Australian community and environment deserve far better.

The regulatory regime at Energy Resources of Australia's Ranger uranium mine fails to provide certainty or confidence and is the worst of both worlds - complex and ineffective.

ERA is pushing ahead with moves to expand this ageing and underperforming mine.

This should not happen - it is time to end the pressure, the pollution and the broken promises.
