Nuclear Disarmament in sight - Australia blocks consensus

Saturday, 3 September 2016 - 10:00am to 10:30am

On this week’s show we speak to Tim Wright from ICAN, the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons. We discuss the recent developments at the UN Conference on Disarmament bringing us closer to a global weapons ban treaty, despite Australia’s efforts to derail the process. We also speak to Dimity Hawkins, a long time disarmament activist and PhD Candidate about Australia’s dependence on America’s nuclear arsenal as a nuclear deterrent.
