Six sites across Australia are on the federal government's shortlist for a national radioactive waste dump and all 6 communities are fired up. They don't want to become famous as the host with the most poisonous and long-lived waste this country produces, especially if it's feels like a foot in the door for an international high-level dump.

Listen in to the "Grand Tour" podcast produced by Hilary and Meret, who travelled to all six sites and interviewed local people, as well as some musings from Regina McKenzie, Adnyamathanha woman from next door to one of the proposed sites, near Hawker, SA.
