Over tea and fruitcake with Sutherland residents, a design Mambo artist, Reg Mombassa has created for the campaign was unveiled. The design will be made into t-shirts.
Sutherland resident Lorraine Dixon said, "This poster is so apt for our area - we really are Mr and Mrs Sydney Australia. We'll have a lot of fun with this design on t-shirts."
Construction for the second reactor has now been halted at Lucas Heights, after the discovery of a second earthquake fault line.
"It seems madness to continue a project that directly threatens the health of the people of Sydney. There are safe alternatives to nuclear power that do not have such potentially catastrophic consequences for the health of people and the environment," said Dr Helen Keleher, Vice President and Policy Convenor for the Public Health Association of Australia.
So far, the only plan the Federal government has to deal with the reactor's waste is to impose a nuclear dump onto South Australia. In the interim, Australia and other nations would be exposed to dangerous sea transports of nuclear waste, such as the shipment from Japan that is travelling past Australian waters now.
"With a dangerous shipment of nuclear waste going past Australian waters right now, it's more important than ever to show that Australians don't want a nuclear reactor," said Sean Chaffer from the Maritime Union of Australia.
If you want to find out more, the Reaction campaign will be holding a public forum on Thursday, 25th July from 7 - 9pm in Redfern Town hall, 73 Pitt St.
The Reg Mombassa artwork for the campaign will be on display at the forum.
