Indigenous owners reject radioactive waste dump
<http://www.greenleft.org.au/2007/714/37086>

Since community opposition stopped plans for a national nuclear waste
dump in South Australia, John Howard seems determined to now go for a
site in the Northern Territory — despite promising not to and opposition
from Indigenous custodians.

The battle for Bolivia’s future
<http://www.greenleft.org.au/2007/714/37072>
BOLIVIA: The breaking of a six-month deadlock in Bolivia’s constituent
assembly has paved the way for the opening of an intense debate on the
future of this politically polarised country nestled in the heart of
South America. Beginning to lose the battle within the halls of the
assembly, the right-wing opposition has threaten to take the fight onto
the streets, announcing that it may reject any new constitution that
emerges out of the body.

Dean Mighell: Workers need the right to strike
<http://www.greenleft.org.au/2007/714/37106>

Electrical Trades Union Victorian secretary and union militant Dean
Mighell was forced to resign from the ALP after a tape recording of an
internal union meeting became public. Labor leader Kevin Rudd and his
industrial relations spokesperson Julia Gillard slammed Mighell as a
union “thug” for swearing about bosses and talking up a
pattern-bargaining agreement in which ETU members received a
particularly good deal. Green Left Weekly’s Sue Bolton spoke to Mighell
about Labor under Rudd, its backflips on IR and how the unions can
defend workers’ rights.
