In the wake of nuclear disasters in Fukushima and Chernobyl, Australia’s geographically largest state is one step away from keeping uranium deposits in the ground. After receiving detailed evidence from the Conservation Council of WA (CCWA) backed by 3,500 submissions through Do Gooder in support of the Uranium Free Charter  the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) has recommended the mining proposal at Yeelirrie WA be rejected and that uranium should stay in the ground!

WA has never had a commercial uranium mine, with state-wide bans on uranium mining, federal restrictions on uranium mining, and a long history of public opposition.

While the mining industry is scrambling desperately to get the recommendation overturned, CCWA is gathering forces with a renewed push to support the EPA’s recommendation, along with an upcoming submission writing workshop and joining in the Walkatjurra Walkabout.

Another great example of how we can win when we fight the good fight. 

In partnership with the Virginia Film Office and the Virginia Production Alliance, PATS (Production Assistant Training Seminar) provides practical training for entry level Production Assistant positions. This valuable training will allow you to work confidently on the sets of commercials, television shows, new media projects, fashion shows, theatrical stage, and movie sets. Participants will learn on-set etiquette and protocol from seasoned filmmakers.

This two-day film industry training program is designed to provide beginning and advanced practical training for individuals seeking to become a Production Assistant, an entry level position that is the first step in the door of the film industry. Students will gain valuable knowledge and insight into the entertainment industry in this program. Participants have the option of attending Day One, Day Two, or both days. However, those attending Day Two alone must either have taken the Production Assistant Training Seminar in the past, or be able to demonstrate on-set experience.
