    On Friday 3 July at Balam Balam Place on Kulin Land, 100 people gathered for a candlelight vigil and talanoa as part of the Pacific Peace Pilgrimage 2026.The Pacific Peace Pilgrimage was organised by the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, Quakers Australia and the Pacific Conference of Churches to cooincide with two significant anniversaries. July 1 marked 80 years since the United States used its first post-war nuclear weapon detonated above Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands.  July 2 marked 60 years since the first French nuclear weapon was exploded above Moruroa Atoll in Mā'ohi Nui, beginning three decades of atmospheric and underground testing.  The impacts live on in memories and in radiation that continues to harm and pose future threats for countless generations.Today we’ll hear Luisa Tuilau reading her poem Bravo, The Brunswick Rogues Choir and friends, Dimity Hawkins from the Nuclear Truth Project, Nic Maclellan - Independent Journalist who has worked in the Pacific region for many decades, and special guests Samuel Barton - President of the Marshall Islands Student Association and Frances Namoumou from the Pacific Conference of Churches.

    Still Seeking Justice for Nuclear Testing in the Pacific

    As we approach the 80th anniversary of the first of around 300 nuclear explosions imposed on the Pacific by colonial powers, and mark the 60th anniversary of the French nuclear testing in the Pacific, we dip into the archives and bring you a show that first aired in 2006 and was presented by Bilbo and Emily with guest presenter Nancy Atkin for the 40th anniversary of French nuclear testing.The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons has organised a Pacific Peace Pilgrimage that will shine a light on the history and intergenerational impacts of nuclear ‘testing’ in the Pacific region, including here in Australia.  ICAN Australia is working with The Quakers and the Pacific Conference of Churches to welcome nuclear-impacted communities from the Pacific and Australia for a series of events which will highlight pathways towards nuclear justice in the region and call for a future that is decolonised, demilitarised, denuclearised and decarbonised. Join ICANW to commemorate these significant anniversaries with a candlelight vigil, led in prayer and reflection.July 1: Morning Vigil, Parliament Lawns, Ngunnawal & Ngambri Country / CanberraJuly 2: Public Event: Quaker Centre, Ngunnawal & Ngambri Country / CanberraJuly 3: Public Event, Newtown Neighbourhood Centre, Gadigal Country / SydneyJuly 3: Public Event, Balam Balam Place, Wurundjeri Country / Melbourne

    Critical Minerals and Rare Earth Mining: A Toxic Trade

    Today we are joined by Liz Downes and Lee Tan to discuss the rush for rare earth mining and critical mineral processing to feed the 'green' energy revolution, new technology and the needs of the military industrial complex.We take a close look at Australian company Lynas's Advanced Materials Plant (LAMP) in Kuantan, Malaysia that is being fed by rare earths mined at Mt.Weld in WA.  LAMP was constructed in 2013 without a waste management plan and as of early 2026, over 1 million metric tonnes of the innocuous sounding Water Leach Purification (WLP) has accumulated on site. This radioactive waste contains uranium-238 and long-lived thorium-232, that requires isolation for billions of years.Liz Downes is a campaigner, researcher, writer and currently a Director of the Rainforest Information Centre and member of the Melbourne Rainforest Action Group (MRAG). Liz is leading Aid/Watch research to map Australia’s ‘green’ extractivism footprint domestically and internationally.Lee Tan is a statistician and a social researcher with decades of health, environmental and social justice campaigning experiences. She worked as the Asia-Pacific Campaign Coordinator for the Australian Conservation Foundation and has extensive links with Indigenous communities, local organisations and national organisations in the Region.

    Shut Down White Mesa Mill: Show from the archives

    This show from the archives 'Uranium Mill Protest on Native American Land' features recordings from the Ute Mountain Ute Native American protest against the White Mesa Uranium Mill on their land from April 2017. Presenter KA Garlick interviews White Mesa Community Leaders Priscellna Rabbit and Ephraim Dutchie, an attorney Marie Ann Tapp and Dinah women Leona Morgan.  White Mesa Uranium Mill is the US only operating uranium mill and is causing serious environmental contamination and impacting the health of the community. The company operating the mill Energy Fuels is collaborating with Astron Corporation to extract rare earth and mineral sands from the Wimmera region, 300 kilometres from Melbourne in Victoria. The ore will undergo some processing on site before being shipped to the United States where uranium will also be extracted from the ore, making the Donald mine a source of a commercial quantity of uranium for the first time in Victoria's history, despite a state ban on uranium mining.
