Today we speak with Dr. Margie Beavis about the newly released report from the Quit Nukes campaign 'Risky Business: An Update on Super Funds and Nuclear Weapons'. The campaign is a collaboration between the Medical Association for Prevention of War (MAPW) and the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN). The report shows that in 2023 fourteen major Australian superannuation funds invested $3.4 billion in the companies that produce the worst weapons of mass destruction. We also speak with the QLD Convenor of the Independant and Peaceful Australia Network (IPAN) Annette Brownlie about the IPAN 2024 Conference 'Sleepwalking into war?'. And we bring you a message from Kokatha representatives Aunty Sue Coleman-Haseldine and grandson Alex on the anniversary of the first Maralinga atomic tests on 27 September.
