TPNW: MOMENTUM GROWS

Ten independent parliamentarians have told the federal government it should honour its commitment to join a global treaty outlawing nuclear weapons.

23 September 2022

In a statement, ten independent parliamentarians have welcomed the Australian Labor Party’s commitment to ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, and urged positive engagement with the treaty. 

Signatories to the statement are:

Kate Chaney MP, independent member for Curtin, WA
Zoe Daniel MP, independent member for Goldstein, VIC
Helen Haines MP, independent member for Indi, VIC
Senator David Pocock, independent Senator for the ACT
Dr Monique Ryan MP, independent member for Kooyong, VIC
Dr Sophie Scamps MP, independent member for Mackellar, NSW

Allegra Spender MP, independent member for Wentworth, NSW
Zali Steggall MP, independent member for Warringah, NSW
Kylea Tink MP, independent member for North Sydney, NSW
Andrew Wilkie MP, independent member for Clark, TAS

As momentum builds towards Australia’s signature and ratification, so does the need for Australian super funds to adopt fund-wide exclusions of nuclear weapons.
