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.

defense relationship with the USA or are asked to defend your
opposition to it, or are just not sure what the relationship
means, then you need to read this article.
