Subject: [WA2020] Scott Ludlam speaking at Murdoch
The speaker for this week�s Big Ideas in Fifteen Minutes seminar is
Senator Scott Ludlam who will speak on �Why Australia should not go
down the nuclear path� WA�s renewable energy future�.
Senator Scott Ludlam is an Australian Greens Senator for Western
Australia dedicated to sustainability and social justice. Elected in
November 2007, he is one of five Australian Greens Senators in the
current Parliament.
Scott is the Australian Greens' spokesperson for Communications,
Housing, Human Heritage, Legal Affairs, Local Government, Mining,
Nuclear Issues, Public Transport and Sustainable Cities.
As Greens spokesperson on nuclear issues, Scott has led opposition in
Canberra against attempts to impose a radioactive waste dump on an
unwilling community near Tennant Creek in the NT. He also helped
establish a cross-party group on Nuclear Disarmament and is a member
of the Australian Parliamentarians for Democracy in Burma.
A prolific and effective participant in the Committee process, Scott
initiated the nations' first in-depth inquiry into public transport as
well as an inquiry into structural asymmetries in the justice system
and how it is failing many Australians. He has probed radiation leaks
and water contamination at the Ranger uranium mine in the Northern
Territory, as well as ongoing radiation safety concerns at Australia's
only nuclear facility at Lucas Heights.
A film maker, artist and graphic designer by trade, Scott created a
compelling 30-minute documentary in 2007 on why nuclear energy is not
the solution to climate change, titled �Climate of Hope'. Recognising
Australia's need to switch to a low carbon economy, Scott aims to
ensure that all Australians benefit from the jobs and wealth created
through harnessing our renewable resources and building sustainable
communities.( http://scott-ludlam.greensmps.org.au/about-scott-ludlam)

All welcome
