Analysis, submissions to Community Consultation, Defence White Paper: MAPW 2009

MAPW staff and volunteers undertook to read submissions made to the 2009 Community Consultation, after they were referred to dismissively by the Panel's report. The purpose was to check the quality of the submissions; and to check their content in relation to Australia's broad defence and foreign affairs strategy; and in relation to our particular interests in peaceful resolution of conflict, abolition of nuclear weapons, and in the health consequences of conflict and the global arms trade. This brief document summarises the findings.
