Howardism in Australian politics means telling lies, like in 1996 when first elected 'we have no plans for uranium mines in national parks' then promoting Jabiluka mine in 1998 which was defeated by civil society including this writer as a protest legal adviser

Howardism in Australian politics means telling lies, like in 1996 when first elected 'we have no plans for uranium mines in national parks' then promoting Jabiluka mine in 1998 which was defeated by civil society including this writer as a protest legal adviser.
It became very clear in that stoush that uranium mining in Australia is all about sovereign risk: If we don’t mine it and serve it up to the mega economies of the world like Japan, France, Britian, China, USA, then we run the very real risk of copping the Chile 1971-1973 treatment. That is, you’ve got our copper and will have it or we will destroy your government.
And so the USA did destroy the Allende elected Popular Unity government. Well both sides of politics here are not stupid, they learn from geo politics even when they won’t openly express their fear of Big Brother geo politik to their own people. Both support sale of uranium when a majority know it is dangerous stuff, only IT IS MORE DANGEROUS FOR LITTLE AUSTRALIA’S SURVIVAL AND SOVEREIGNTY TO NOT SELL IT.

the point you make about it being dangerous not to comply with globalisation is echoed by the fact that uranium is so dangerous that it requires heavy security in itself - which can only be provided by 'strong' authoritarian states. kind of circular!
