The petition of the undersigned shows that nuclear weapons testing is to resume in the Pacific. We protest.

Your petitioners request that the Senate should be more resolute in its opposition to President Chirac's decision to resume nuclear testing in the Pacific; by

(1) Supporting Greenpeace by sending a frigate to the area.

(2) Cancelling all military contracts with the French government.

(3) Stopping the sale of uranium to the french government.

(4) Encouraging links between the Australian and French anti-nuclear movements
