Please spread the word –

In June 2009, the English Courts ruled that military personnel and their families affected by the Nuclear Tests conducted in Australia in the 1950s and 1960s were entitled to bring personal injuries actions against the United Kingdom Government. This litigation is currently ongoing. ALRM has legal advice that civilians in Australia and their families who were similarly affected by the Tests (including Aboriginal people) may be able to seek compensation from the UK Government.

ALRM welcomes contact from people who may be interested in pursuing a claim for compensation against the UK Government.

If you are unable to attend one of these meetings, please contact ALRM :

Help 'No Alice U-mine' song 'Wiya! Angela Pamela' up the final rung of the JJJ Unearthed Charts! The song has made it to no. 4 on the national Unearthed Charts this week, and with your help could reach the number one spot. If this happens it will greatly assist putting the Wiya! Angela Pamela campaign onto the national agenda.

Here's how to help: register at www.triplejunearthed.com (registering is free), search for ' wiya ', and play, rate and review the song. You can also download the song for free.

The song is a collaboration between Alice outfit the Super Raelene Bros and the Little Sister's Collective - Western Arrenta and Luritja musicians from Little Sisters Town Camp on the outskirts of Alice Springs. For more info on the Wiya campaign you can also visit www.superraelenebrothers.com.au
