On the anniversary of ICAN’s Nobel Peace Prize, co-founder Dave Sweeney warns in @australia.theguardian.com that Australia is drifting towards the normalisation of nuclear war-fighting, and urges the government to finally sign the Nuclear Ban Treaty. #NuclearBan

On this day in 2017 ICAN was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for our efforts to ban nuclear weapons. Setsuko Thurlow’s message remains clear: “Our light now is the ban treaty.” We keep pushing for a safer world, free from the threat of nuclear war. #TPNW #NuclearBan

The #UnitingChurchAustralia has issued a powerful call for Australia to sign the #nuclearban — a moral step that would build trust in our region and show real leadership for peace. Read Rev. Charissa Suli's article for Pearls & Irritations @johnmenadue.com here: johnmenadue.com/post/2025/11...

ICAN's Tilman Ruff was interviewed on #triplejhack about how a nuclear war could start, how fast things might spiral out of control, and whether there’s still time for us to step back from the brink. Listen to the full interview: www.abc.net.au/triplej/prog... #nuclearban

Australian support for US nuclear strikes undermines international law, rules and norms. Australian interests are not advanced by supporting US attacks on Iran.

Australian Government should immediately rule out any logistical support for US attacks on Iran, including by denying permission for US B-2 or B-52 bombers to transit or refuel in Australia. #nuclearban icanw.org.au/media-releas...

Let’s remember that Iran *does not have any nuclear weapons* and Israel’s aggression will only make it more likely Iran will pursue them. The most responsible thing Australia can do to champion nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation is to sign the nuclear weapon ban treaty, now. #nuclearban

Nuclear-armed Israel's attacks on Iran "the most flagrant example of double standards that you could possibly imagine" - our co-founder Tilman Ruff in SBS news #nuclearban www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

1/ ICAN is gravely concerned by escalating hostilities between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan, including last night’s missile strikes and nuclear threats. A nuclear exchange would be catastrophic for the world. Read our full statement here: icanw.org/ican_respons... #NuclearBan

This election was a massive rejection of nuclear. Now is the time for bold action on nuclear weapons, by signing and ratifying the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Don't forget your promise, @albomp.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/watch?v=doOr... #nuclearban

No, @clivehamilton.bsky.social, it is not time for Australia to acquire nuclear weapons. Nor will it ever be. The safer path is diplomacy and disarmament. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/05... #nuclearban
