Gregory's ServerWhile #PeterDutton gets headlines for his #nuclear fairytale and the Labor Government presses on with its #AUKUS submarines, the fallout from nuclear bomb testing in the #Pilbara in 1956 finally reaches court. .
In 1956, on the remote Montebello Islands off #WesternAustralia, an #atomicbomb was tested. It was supposed to be no more than 50 kilotons, but in fact measured 98 kilotons, or more than six times the strength of the bomb dropped over #Hiroshima in 1945.
Ever since then, Australian and UK Governments have suppressed the facts and denied compensation to the victims. That may finally be about to change.
