Helen Caldicott, M.D., pediatrician and internationally recognized author and lecturer, hosts a weekly, one-hour radio program titled If You Love This Planet. Produced by Jasmin WIlliams and Scott Powell. Edited by Jasmin Williams.
In this episode, Dr. Caldicott has another chat with academic and author, Richard Broinowski, adjunct professor in media and communications at the University of Sydney. Prof. Broinowski, Dr. Caldicottâs brother, is also a retired Australian diplomat who was posted in Tokyo, Rangoon and Tehran, and served as Australian Ambassador to Vietnam, Republic of Korea, Mexico, the Central American Republics and Cuba. Broinowski is the author of three books, with a fourth due to appear this October, on the nuclear disaster at Fukushima and its implications for Japan and the international nuclear industry. Broinowski and Dr. Caldicott discuss the history of U.S. involvement with the Korean Peninsula, and Americaâs aggressive stance toward North Korea. They also cover the background of the U.S. and Iran, and whether Iran is really a nuclear threat. Dr. Caldicott references the Physicians for Social Responsibility report, War is Not the Answer: The Medical and Public Health Consequences of Attacking Iran. Prof. Broinowski also gives his perspective on other countries in which he worked, including Mexico, Burma and the Philippines. Later, Prof. Broinowski talks briefly about his travels to Japan in the aftermath of the Fukushima disaster.
