It's time for Australia to send a clear message to our nation, our region and the world that nuclear weapons are a red line. We call for the government to set a timeline for the signature of the TPNW in this term of parliament

The PM once championed a nuclear weapons ban. What happened?
Anthony Albanese and Richard Marles once pledged Labor would sign a treaty to ban nuclear weapons. Why have they walked this back in government?

Let’s remember that Iran *does not have any nuclear weapons* and Israel’s aggression will only make it more likely Iran will pursue them.

The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (Ican) has described the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran as a “terrifying reminder of how close the world remains to nuclear disaster”, arguing Australia should condemn illegal military attacks and ratify the global treaty banning nuclear weapons.
Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities violate international law, Ican has alleged, and could cause radioactive contamination with long-term consequences for human health and the environment. Continue reading...

The 'unsustainable' reason behind who can have nuclear weapons, and who can’t
Israel has said its attack on Iran on Friday was partially aimed at destroying its nuclear infrastructure. But it's far from the only country to have developed its capacity in recent years.
