Meet Effie the Nuclear White Elephant
A white elephant is is something that is big, useless and expensive to keep. Our nuclear white elephant has been touring South East Queensland to remind voters that uranium mining is still a threat to our state.
Sponsored by The Wilderness Society, Queensland Conservation Council and Friends of the Earth, Effie the elephant has been visiting various markets, fairs and events in SEQ. Want Effie to visit your event? Contact Robin on 0411 118737.
Nuclear: no way!
What You can do:
1) Be informed
The biggest weapon the pro-nuclear lobby has is our lack of knowledge about the dangers of nuclear technology, uranium mining and the possibilities and realities of alternatives.

2)
Write letters & sign petitions
Politicians, the business community and the wider community need to know that people are opposed to the nuclear industry.
Contact key Queensland Labor politicians and your local representatives, and let them know that you don’t want uranium mining, nuclear power or waste dumps in Queensland or anywhere in Australia.
