Nuclear weapons are inhumane, immoral and designed to wipe out everything we love. As the US & Russia let the #INFTreaty collapse, the rest of us have to speak up: The world doesn’t need a new arms race, it needs to end nukes altogether! https://t.co/tZKoVKTtBs #nuclearban #TPNW

These are the countries that claim nuclear weapons are a legitimate means of defence. They are not. Time to join the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. #nuclearban

Valuable resource and significant documentation. Recent artistic movement which frames the #Maralinga #atomicbomb tests story. Hear the voices of those communities affected and of their artistic collaborators.

@nakarithorpe Hi Nakari thanks for reporting on the exhibition Black Mist Burnt Country. Can I just point out on little inaccuracy?: Ooldea Mission was not close to Port Augusta. It was located on the transcontinental railway near Watson, approx. 250 km west of Ceduna. :-)

[BlackMistBurntCountry @BMBC60]

Great to see a journalist making an effort to feature the voices of some of the artists involved in the exhibition.

[Nakari Thorpe @nakarithorpe]

Sixty-two years ago today the British government exploded an atomic bomb on the traditional lands of the Anangu in remote South Australia. Now, a national show tells the story of the devastating effects on its people and country #Maralinga

On this day 73 years ago, the United States dropped an atomic bomb called “Fat Man” on the city of #Nagasaki. Here we see the mushroom cloud that grew above the city and one of the bomb's victims. As many as 100,000 people were killed.

Austria just deposited its ratification of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons #TPNW – we are committed to rid the world of the most horrible weapons of mass destruction. #nuclearban #raceto50

[BlackMistBurntCountry @BMBC60]

The Australian Government apparently "made safe" the contaminated Maralinga test site for tourists to visit? Is Ben Stubbs trying to 'be smart' here? Read for yourself: Australia’s Least Likely Tourist Spot: A Test Site for Atom Bombs https://t.co/3QVvaTNs7y

New Zealand moves to ratify the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Australia maintains its staunch opposition. https://t.co/y2hDGihpNP #nuclearban @jacindaardern @TurnbullMalcolm
