Nuclear workshop held in Lutruwita

On March 1st, about 20 people came together for an anti-nuclear workshop held in Lutruwita at an activist camp organised by Grass Roots Action Network Tasmania (GRANT). Nuclear Free Collective coordinators Reed and Manju teamed up with our friends at Beyond Uranium Canberra, to discuss AUKUS in the context of the anti-nuclear movement in so-called Australia. We also “soft launched” an anti-AUKUS peace walk that will happen later this year in South Australia, most likely throughout September.  Keep an eye on our Instagram @foenuclearfree for updates on the peace walk and other nuclear free action you can get involved with.  You can also support the work of the Nuclear Free Collective by making a donation or becoming a member at https://www.melbournefoe.org.au/donate. References from the show/workshop:“Prime Minister announces $3.9 billion 'down payment' towards $30b Adelaide submarine shipyard”  https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02-15/down-payment-for-30b-adelaide-submarine-shipyard/106346484 An overview of British nuclear weapons testing in Australia https://www.arpansa.gov.au/understanding-radiation/sources-radiation/more-radiation-sources/british-nuclear-weapons-testing  A zine about AUKUS was handed out at the workshop, and you can access it too: https://renegadeactivists.org/resources-and-legislation/ (“Leaving AUKUS?
