Parkinson, a nuclear engineer and former Government Representative to oversee the Maralinga Rehabilitation Project,[2] explains that the clean-up of Maralinga in the late 1990s was compromised by cost-cutting and simply involved dumping hazardous radioactive debris in shallow holes in the ground. Parkinson states that "What was done at Maralinga was a cheap and nasty solution that wouldn't be adopted on white-fellas land."[3]
