A public meeting featuring US nuclear weapons expert Steven Starr will address concerns for the continued threat of the end to human civilization from nuclear weapons.
Steven Starr, an authority on nuclear weapons, is the Chief Scientist for Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR), the US branch of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War. Steven has written extensively on accidental nuclear war and nuclear winter in the prestigious Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and elsewhere.
Steven, together with Australia's John Hallam, successfully lobbied the United Nations General Assembly from 2006 to 2008 resulting in the adoption of a resolution on nuclear weapons operational readiness in 2007 and 2008.
Steven Starr and John Hallam have now held a number of highly successful panels in the United nations and at NPT conferences on accidental nuclear war and nuclear winter.
Sue Wareham, the NSW President of the Medical Association for the Prevention of War (MAPW), will also be speaking. Sue has a long history of campaigning against nuclear weapons.
