Press Statements
Lynas has now submitted an application to a regulator, a Australian Radiation Protection as well as Nuclear Safety Agency, to import hot rubbish from Malaysia.
This explanation beggars idea as just a couple of days ago a two-year proxy looseness to work was postulated to Lynas, who intend to ship hot ores by Fremantle Port to trade them to their plant in Malaysia, now seem to be reporting which they should be able to import a wastes of those ores behind onto Australian soil.
Malaysia's chief regulator Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB) had pronounced which a Australian miner was legally firm to mislay hot rubbish from a Lynas Advanced Materials Plant (LAMP) as well as return a residue to Australia underneath conditions of a proxy handling licence. However this headlines flies in a face of Australian supervision policy, as well as in truth Western Australian legislation, which asserts which Australia does not accept or import hot rubbish from other countries.
Robin Chapple Member of a Legislative Coun! cil, Wes tern Australia as well as Greens [party] orator for mining issues commented upon Lynas' recent move:
"It seems which again Lynas thinks it is outside a law as it is handling in Malaysia, as well as may be subject to less rigorous authorised scrutiny. Well it isn't, as well as if it thinks which Western Australia will take this hot waste, it can think again.
"It didn't consult with community upon shipping a hot ores by Fremantle port, as well as it positively hasn't consulted upon shipping behind a hot waste. The WA Nuclear Waste Storage (Prohibition) Act 1999 prohibits it here. Period!
But really, we have to laugh. Lynas has now been tripped up by a own lack of willingness to take mind of Australia's expectations with apply oneself to tolerable mining as well as environmental, social as well as authorised standards, as well as hasn't it got a come-uppance. Talk about being left land a baby!
To quote a good Michael Franks, 'And I'm blamin' we 'cause now I'm all ready to go up as well as we got nowhere to go'."
