Dig baby Dig with any luck we will find Uranium then we could afford first rate Hospitals Schools and Government services.

Australia now earns more than A$1 billion annually from exporting uranium ore concentrate. By 2014, that figure is expected to be A$1.7 billion.
There are tight controls: Australian uranium is produced only for export and is used only for peaceful purposes in civil nuclear power stations outside of Australia and is trumpeted as a contributor to global climate relief.’
The reason Australia doesn’t have a suite of nuclear power stations is it burns cheap coal for power.
But NZ is stuck in a 1980s cul de sac: Nuclear equals bad
@Trevor LOL
Short sighted
Spud, yes I agree, Trevor is short sighted.
Long sighted actually
ROFL @ Australia has first rate Hospitals Schools and Government Services. Doug you should do a cartoon around that. SO funny.
Dug! It’s how a hole was made and it’s a tit!
What’s Mt Cook ever done for us (other than slump 50ft in a massive slip and dent our national pride)?
If there’s gold in them-thar hills…
If there ever was a mine under Mt Cook it would be subterranean and surgical. The mountain height would be the same. The Southern Alps would look the same.
Cartoons work best when using hyperbole and exaggeration. Reality is fairly mundane and seldom amusing.
Bit like you Fisiani

Fran O’Sullivan is delusional
“Australian uranium is produced only for export and is used only for peaceful purposes in civil nuclear power stations outside of Australia”
It’s only for export because Australia has one small nuclear power plant and no nuclear weapons program. Duh.
The “only for peaceful purposes” line is a ruse. It just means that the buyers of the Australian uranium will use uranium from other sources to make nuclear weapons. If Fran wants to suggest that Australia’s “only for peaceful purposes” rule stops the manufacture of a single nuclear weapon then let’s see her provide evidence.
“If there ever was a mine under Mt Cook it would be subterranean and surgical. The mountain height would be the same. The Southern Alps would look the same.”
