WE are being sold a pup.
Skinning boomers of our life’s savings so that we can have someone else to tuck us in bed at night when we are finally too old to look after ourselves is not the only policy option.
It is a Labor-Green-left-wing policy choice, but it is not the only option.
I have worked and paid taxes so that others have been able to reap the benefits of my work.
Okay we live in a society that has a safety net and I made my contribution while I was working and earning money.
The only option for the boomer aging demographic blip is not to take all the money that I earned and was planning to pass on to my children and grandchildren.
I have been to and down every uranium mine in SA.
If we closed the energy cycle that starts here at home in South Australia, instead of exporting low grade yellow cake…
If we enriched it…
If we leased out the enriched uranium resource and got it back as depleted and stored it, given we have the most stable geology in the world, until it became another future energy supply, fusion rather than fission…
Then, every South Australian would have free health, free energy, free education and free elder care.
We would be to uranium energy riches what Saudi Arabia has been to oil.
So, no, Albo and Bandt.
I do not accept that stripping me of my life’s earnings is the only option.
It is just what you want to do.
