Some events are purpose-specific and focused on just these issues (such as PNFA events); some may focus on a range of themes including nuclear industry issues (such as candidates' speaking events) and some will focus on other themes entirely but provide an opportunity for PNFA to highlight nuclear issues (such as the John Butler Trio concerts).
We encourage you to attend these events, provide support to speakers focused on opposing nuclear power in Australia and take opportunities yourselves to present the PNFA viewpoint.
