Nuclear free zone debate splits Labour Party over inspections

March discussions in Parliament split the Australian Labour Party on unconditional nuclear test bans. Some MPs, led by Mr Galewell, favored a strict nuclear free zone without conditions, while five others, led by Senator Kennelly, pressed for a zone with regular inspections and controls. Ambassador J H Scholten appointed Commonwealth officer for the King and Queen of Thailand tour to Australia. The executive opposed nuclear tests by any nation and urged a Southern Hemisphere conference to expand a nuclear free zone, including China Japan India and others. Dr John Burton argued that while technically possible, political obstacles make a global nuclear free zone unlikely, citing ANZUS commitments.
