Is BMD futile?

World-renowned anti-nuclear activist Helen Caldicott will speak at
Yeppoon Town Hall on Friday 22 June.
SWAG is grateful and Central Queensland is privileged to have Physician, Author and Speaker, Dr. Helen Caldicott, accept our invitation to be a keynote speaker at the Peace Convergence in June. She is the single most articulate and passionate advocate of citizens’ action to remedy the nuclear and environmental crises. She founded the USA group “Physicians for Social Responsibility” (membership of 23,000 Doctors) and the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize winning group “International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War”. Of her 5 books,” The New Nuclear Danger: George Bush’s Military Industry Complex” is most relevant to joint US Australian war games in Shoalwater Bay training area.
Dr Caldicott will bring vast professional medical and scientific knowledge to the debate on the risks of military expansion in Shoalwater Bay and Australia generally. Of particular importance she can speak from international experience about dangers posed by nuclear powered submarines and nuclear weapons capable aircraft and warships and operating around SWB, Yeppoon and the Australian coast. She can help fill in a information vacuum created by the USA forces' and the ADF's silence on the nuclear issues raised by Talisman Saber 07.
With both major political parties announcing policies that will increase the risk of nuclear proliferation I would urge people to hear Dr Caldicott speak at the Yeppoon Town Hall on June 22nd.
