Pathetic Pretentious
Yeo Inc's rationale fades by the day, what nonsense, a catchphrase coined by 32 activists on a junket, vain attempt to justify gross economic vandalism.
Yeo is proving a very, very selfish individual.
"Main article: Precautionary principleThe formal concept evolved out of the German socio-legal tradition in the 1930s, centering on the concept of good household management.[3]
In German the concept is Vorsorgeprinzip, which translates into English as precaution principle.
Many of the concepts underpinning the precautionary principle pre-date the term's inception. For example, the essence of the principle is captured in a number of cautionary aphorisms such as "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure", "better safe than sorry", and "look before you leap".[4]
The precautionary principle may also be interpreted as the evolution of the ancient medical principle of "first, do no harm" to apply to institutions and institutional decision-making processes rather than individuals."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wingspread_Conference_on_the_Precautionary_PrincipleTranslates > back to primordial slime, mind the first step, it's a doozy.

"Participants noted that current policies such as risk assessment and cost-benefit analysis give the benefit of the doubt to new products and technologies, which may later prove harmful. And when damage occurs, victims and their advocates have the difficult task of proving that a product or activity was responsible. The precautionary principle shifts the burden of proof, insisting that those responsible for an activity must vouch for its harmlessness and be held responsible if damage occurs."http://sehn.org/wingspread-conference-on-the-precautionary-principle/Now isn't that EXACTLY what Lynas have done!!!!
They have employed best practice, as verified by IAEA twice, proven that practice thru six years of operation incl 100yr flood event, as verified by five Govt Depts, and agreed to $50M remediation bond, have they not taken complete & total responsibility???
Pathetic & Pretentious sums Yeo perfectly.
