        History

        In May 1960, Australia's first Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) group was formed in Melbourne. Its young middle-class members espoused civil disobedience and until 1965 held annual Easter marches. With the reintroduction of conscription late in 1964, CND merged into the broader Vietnam Day Committee (VDC).
