Labor must walk the talk on the Indigenous Voice

Secondly, Labor will hold its national conference in Brisbane in mid-August. If it hasn't already done so, Labor should take the opportunity presented by the conference to announce that it will no longer attempt to impose a dump against the opposition of Barngarla Traditional Owners.

So much the better if a national conference resolution adopts SA Labor's policy that Traditional Owners should have a right of veto over any proposed nuclear dumps. That would give traditional owners across the country some confidence that their voice will be heard as the government progresses plans to store and dispose of waste arising from nuclear submarines in the coming decades.

Finally, Labor must commit to amend the profoundly shameful and deeply racist National Radioactive Waste Management Act.
