In the Pitjantjatjara communities of Anangu Country on the edge of the Nullarbor Plain, cancer rates are higher than elsewhere in Australia. This is the legacy of nuclear testing by the British government, which staged seven atomic explosions between 1956 and 1963, contaminating the land.  Thanks to nuclear engineer and whistleblower Alan Parkinson, we know that the cleanup, in his words, was more of a “cover up”, with cost-cutting measures putting communities at further risk.   As Australia stares down the barrel of a climate crisis, and with the climate wars back in the news – blowing the whistle on environmental harms is more important than ever.  Today, senior lawyer at the Human Rights Law Center and contributor to The Saturday Paper, Regina Featherstone, on how whistleblowers are an untapped resource in the pursuit of a safer climate.
