We believe greater peace, greater security, greater safety is possible. Reaching out across national boundaries Greenpeace is working with citizens and political leaders around the world to make this happen.
In addition to closing down nuclear test sites to delay nuclear
explosions, blocking ships carrying nuclear weapons grade materials,
and generally being a nuisance to the nuclear powers, we also work in a
number of political arenas, including:
The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons
In
Australia and the Pacific, we are campaigning against nuclear weapons
in the region, a second nuclear reactor in Australia, nuclear power,
reprocessing and waste dumping.
Greenpeace has always said
that it is absurd to promote nuclear energy and think it is still
possible to control nuclear weapons.
In
2005, the Greenpeace yacht Vega bears witness on Talisman Sabre
exercises in the Shoalwater Bay miltary exclusion zone. The Talisman
Sabre US/Australia military exercises were the largest bilateral war
games ever carried out between the two countries.
Greenpeace
called on the Australian Government to assure the public that our
military personnel will not be engaged in nuclear weapons training
scenarios.
