	Hill & Knowlton - Australian Federal government show where their interests LIE,
		It was initiated by anti-nuclear and environmental campaigners in response to revelations from a government document leaked late last year that the federal government is planning a $300,000 propaganda campaign to convince South Australians to turn their state into the nation's nuclear dump.
		The sham EIS process, and the federal government's scheming more generally, were described in a January 24 editorial in the Adelaide Advertiser as a “shameful process” and “an unequivocal kick in the teeth for us all and a heart-breaking defeat for democracy”.
		Numerous “operational hazards” have been identified by the federal government but are dismissed with the assertion in the draft EIS that: “Appropriate procedures would be developed to address these issues.” The draft EIS gave nothing more than an “indicative design” of the planned dump, and the supplement adds no detail whatsoever.

		While State Governments remain very strongly supportive of the Renewable Energy sector, the Federal Government's resistance to increasing MRET will result in a significant loss of accelerated Australian regional development opportunities, said Harding.
		Perhaps most aggravating about the geo-sequestration funding for Australian renewable energy companies is that their own technologies are already mature, proven technologies that could greatly diversify the country's energy mix.
