Protests

Massive Bomb

Australia and New Zealand in April were planning widespread sanctions, including trade union action against French commerce and air and shipping links, as a protest if France continues with nuclear testing in the Pacific.

There are reports from Papeete that France may retaliate (see p 10). Australian Attorney- General Senator Lionel Murphy told the Paris Government that the tests had “physically affected everyone living in Australia” and that the Australian Academy of Science believed there was danger of death and disability if there were more explosions.
