FoE has been campaigning for real energy solutions and against uranium mining and nuclear power for 35 years.

With our allies in civil society, indigenous and local communities we’ve been an important part of some great victories such as stopping the Jabiluka mine, limiting the expansion of the uranium industry in Australia and scuttling a proposed nuclear waste dump in South Australia.

Looking to 2008

This year will be pivotal in the campaign to keep the nuclear floodgates closed. We need to:

• Stop new uranium mines and stop plans to expand the existing three mines (Roxby, Ranger, Beverley).
• Fight to get the Labor government to implement its promises to improve nuclear 'safeguards'.
• Fight the plan to export uranium to Russia.
  
• Maintain and build alliances with Traditional Aboriginal Owners including continuing FoE's role as the secretariat for the Australian Nuclear Free Alliance.
  
• Mobilise new constituencies and build action amongst our traditional allies – churches and other faith communities, the renewable industry and ethical investment sectors, trade unions, students and others.
• Challenge the nuclear industry and its supporters on the issue of nukes and climate change.
• Maintain our role at providing useful and accessible information via printed and on-line materials.
• Continue to mobilise and inspire the community to take action in resisting the expansion of Australia's role in the nuclear fuel cycle.
