Special episode: Nuclear radiation took her father’s eyesight. Now Karina’s fighting Dutton’s nuclear proposal

Description:

When opposition leader Peter Dutton proposed nuclear energy reactors on almost every mainland state in June last year, he reignited divisive public debate. 

It’s a debate Indigenous Australians are unwillingly at the heart of. A story that starts in the 1950s, when radioactive fallout from bomb tests caused illness among Aboriginal communities that were not adequately protected by the government of the day. 

Today, audio producer Julia Carr-Catzel brings us a special edition of The Morning Edition on the resistance in Aboriginal communities to a potential nuclear energy industry in Australia.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander listeners are advised that this podcast contains names of people who have died.
