Sobering reading.

The secrets and deliberate withholding +
The deliberate lies +
The callous disregard for the Australian population – both black and white – both civilian and military –
by both the British Govt AND the Australian Govt (who, to be fair, were also lied to by the Brits),
including the denials from both that radiation problems had occurred - and even that servicemen were involved!!!!

Perhaps they were hoping the rank-and-file would all be dead before they could be tempted to break the “Official Secrets Act”???
Guess it cuts down the cost of potential compensation claims and negative publicity….

MARALINGA (aka Rainy Land)

This is a rainy land
This is a rainy land
No thunder in our sky
No trees stretching high
But this is a rainy land
This is a rainy land

My name is Yami Lester
I hear, I talk, I touch but I am blind
My story comes from darkness
Listen to my story now unwind
This is a rainy land
This is a rainy land

First we heard two big bangs
We thought it was the Great Snake digging holes
Then we saw the big cloud
Then the big, black mist began to roll
This is a rainy land
This is a rainy land

A strangeness on our skin
A soreness in our eyes like weeping fire
A pox upon our skin
A boulder on our backs all our lives
This is a rainy land
This is a rainy land

No thunder in our sky
No trees stretching high
But this is a rainy land

My name is Edie Millipuddie
They captured me and roughly washed me down
Then my child stopped kicking
Then they took away my oId man to town
They said 'Do you speak English?'
He said 'I know that Jesus loves me I know
Because the bible tells me so'

This is a rainy land
This is a rainy land
No thunder in our sky
No trees stretching high
But this is a rainy land
This is a rainy land
