Nuclear free zone

Newcastle: 15 years a nuclear free zone

Readers may recall that I outlined the good work Greens and others have done in shifting Newcastle to a clean and green city (see Newcastle leads the way).

I have now been reliably informed that Newcastle became a "nuclear free zone" by resolution of Council on 15 October 1991.

If we weren't the first in Australia, we had to have been one of the first!
