We cannot bomb a path to peace and our government must act to reduce nuclear risks, not inflame them.

Australia must not allow nuclear weapons to be used as a pretext for launching another devastating war. Australia must reject this logic and refuse to support any action that fuels war under the banner of nuclear threat.

Instead of aligning with nuclear-armed states acting outside the law, Australia should act independently to uphold international law and negotiated outcomes and urgently move to sign and ratify the #nuclearban

Australian support sends a dangerous message to the international community that Australia backs military aggression over dialogue and further erodes global disarmament norms.

Formal Australian government support for recent US military strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran is inconsistent with key principles of international law and diplomacy and are deeply unhelpful in realising a peaceful resolution to this crisis.

There's the 1970s Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, yes! It's important but it doesn't actually prohibit nuclear weapons in a comprehensive manner, so the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons is a necessary follow-on to deligitimise and ban the very possession of nukes.
