Nuclear Citizens Jury 2 Potential witness list

PurposeJurors can choose any witnesses they might like to provide evidence, whether they’re on this list or not - this list is provided as a resource for Jurors to consider.

Background – how the list was developed: 1. This list was originally developed by democracyCo for Citizens’ Jury 1 (CJ1) and included:

input from Jurors via a survey and individual contributions suggestions from stakeholders we met our own research

These original witnesses are marked ‘CJ1’ or, for subject matter experts engaged with the Royal Commission, they are marked ‘CJ1 – RC’

2. In preparation for Citizens’ Jury 2 (CJ2) we reviewed the list with our new Nuclear Citizens’ Jury 2 Stakeholder Reference Group (see members at x) and additional witnesses were added by members of this group. These witnesses are marked ‘CJ 2’ along with the stakeholder/s who added them on this list.

Stakeholder Reference Group Members:Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO)Brand SABusiness SACommittee for AdelaideCommonwealth Science Industry Research Organisation (CSIRO)Conservation Council SA (CCSA)Friends of the Earth (FOE)Mothers for a Sustainable South Australia (MOSSA)Nuclear Consultation and Response Agency (CARA) and Advisory Board (Advisory Board)Outback Communities Authority (OCA)Primary Producers SA/Regional Development SA (PPSA)SA Chamber of Mines and Energy (SACOME)SA Health (Royal Adelaide Hospital, Professor Michael Penniment) (SA Health)SA Native Title ServiceSA UnionsYankunytjatjara Native Title Corporation (YNTC)
