Traditional Owners in Queensland have voiced their opposition to Opposition Leader Peter Dutton's plans to establish nuclear power facilities on Indigenous land.

Tarong Power Station was named by Mr Dutton as one of the locations of a future nuclear power plant.

Boujiebara and Dungibara Elder Aunty Jannine Smith said: "I live on Country in Kumbia (20 minutes from Tarong) which has no potable water supply."

"This project would cause a massive burden on an already struggling catchment and for what?

"Renewables are cheaper and more sustainable. I protested for land rights and against nuclear power in the '70s and my position has not changed."

Traditional Owner Peta May expressed concerns about Tarong's lack of respect for Traditional Owners' rights to access culturally significant sites, including Boujiebara Axe-grinding grooves.

She said she fears a nuclear expansion or redevelopment would further deny access to these sites for another century or more.

Gamilaroi man and Protect Country Strategist at Queensland Conservation Council, Paul Spearim, noted Australia's approach to land is "short-sighted", grappling with the aftermath of Maralinga, Emu Field, Ranger Uranium Mine, and numerous abandoned mines leaking radioactive tailings.

"White Australia has a short-sighted approach to Country," he said.

"You are still trying to clean up the mess of Maralinga, Emu Field, Ranger Uranium Mine, and the many closed mines that still scar the landscape across Australia, and leak radioactive tailings.

"You have forced poison onto the lands of Traditional Owners, and now Peter Dutton is proposing to create poisons that would last 100,000s of years.

"We have learnt that white Australia cannot be trusted with nuclear power, and you continue to act without care for our sacred country."

The Council noted in a statement on Thursday that Australia has a history of imposing nuclear activities on Indigenous communities, including nuclear bomb testing by the British Government at Maralinga and Emu Field on Pitjantjatjara, Yankunytjatjara, and Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara lands, as well as uranium mining on Mirarr People's lands in Kakadu and other regions.

High-level nuclear waste remains radioactive for hundreds of thousands of years, and temporary storage is considered unsafe because the storage containers themselves become radioactive over time.

The Queensland Conservation Council said it is actively consulting with Traditional Owners on this matter.
