To the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly,
The undersigned petitioners ask the Legislative Assembly to call on the Government to pass legislation to ensure that:
• No nuclear submarine base(s) are established in NSW
• No nuclear submarine waste is stored or disposed of in NSW
• No visits of nuclear-powered, nuclear-capable vessels from any country are allowed in NSW ports or airfields
These measures are essential to prevent the people of NSW from being exposed to the long-term health risks of toxic radiation which can occur through exposure to nuclear waste or radiation from leaks or accidents associated with the nuclear reactors or nuclear weapons on visiting vessels or aircraft
