Dear Prime Minister,
There is a growing consensus among world leaders on the urgent need to abolish nuclear weapons. The increasing risks of nuclear weapons proliferation and use in our region and beyond mean there has never been a more important time for Australian initiative and leadership in global efforts to free the world from nuclear weapons.
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has urged governments to consider negotiating a convention to outlaw nuclear weapons and provide for their elimination within an agreed timeframe.
We, the undersigned recipients of the Order of Australia, call upon the Australian government to adopt a nuclear-weapon-free defence posture and to join other nations in working to achieve a comprehensive, verifiable treaty to abolish nuclear weapons.
