Wasted! Global nuclear weapons spending

Saturday, 24 June 2023 - 10:00am to 10:30am

On 12 June, 2023 the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons released the report "Wasted: 2022 Global Nuclear Weapons Spending", showing that global spending on nuclear weapons increased in 2022 to $82.9 billion!  We speak with Alicia Sanders-Zakre, report co-author and Policy and Research Coordinator at ICAN.

We also bring you an interview by Phuong from 3CR's Tuesday Breakfast Show with Sanne Deswart, Coordinator of the Nuclear Free Collective at Friends of the Earth Melbourne, about the work of the collective and their upcoming fundraiser event: '25 years since Jabiluka Blockade - No to AUKUS Art Auction'.

Find the event of Facebook here.

We also played the track 'Keep On Pushing Back' by Mat Ward from his newly released album called 'Climate Wars – an album for the end of times', available on bandcamp.
