"No uranium mining," "No nuclear industry," and "No nuclear waste dump," were the themes of the annual Rally for Peace and Nuclear Disarmament, held in Brisbane on Palm Sunday, April 17.

The rally and march attracted about 200 people.

The rally followed a Nuclear-Free and Peaceful Queensland Workshop Day held on April 16 at the Communications Electrical Plumbing Union offices, organised by the Queensland Nuclear Free Alliance.
