Amid rising tensions, clear words from the UN Secretary General. ‘I call on states that possess nuclear weapons to lift this shadow hanging over humanity... and commit to the total elimination of nuclear weapons.’ Time to act. Time to sign the @nuclearban https://t.co/Ox1VdaE5zf

Today in Perth our PM announces a $15 billion spend to facilitate US and UK #nuclear subs. Otd in 1957 a British atomic bomb poisoned #Maralinga. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose... #AUKUS is a bad deal - not a done deal. @LabAgainstWar @nuclearban
