Government: Majority Report and Billions

government: Their majority report raised questions over safety and cost and also highlighted a lack of trust in the government to deliver, run and adequately regulate such a facility, according to Nine News Australia. It also emphasised the strong objections of indigenous communities and questioned its economic viability, ruling that claims it could raise billions of dollars were based on "assumptions with little support"."Many jurors believe we don't have a right to make a decision that will have such long-term and irreversible consequences for future generations," the report said. The jury presented its final report to the state government on Sunday, with 70 percent of its 350 members unwilling to support the proposal for a dump under any circumstances. But a minority report called for further economic modelling to be conducted before a final decision was made. And it objected to the majority report speaking for the indigenous community after the jury was told that there had been a lack of consultation."To suggest that the indigenous community then has a unanimous position, without adequate consultation, is incorrect," the minority report said. It also raised concerns over bias on the jury, questioning whether opponents to the idea of a dump were over -represented. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
