Australia: Biological weapons The Australian Department of Defence formed the New Weapons and Equipment Development Committee soon after the end of WW2. Documents in the National Archives, declassified in 1998, revealed the extent to which Australia considered the development of biological weapons in the 1940s and 50s. Secretary of the Department F.G. Sheddon sought the advice of leading microbiologist Sir Frank Macfarlane Burnet in December 1946. Burnet was Director of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute for Medical Research, and won the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1960. Sheddon asked whether Australia had the capability to develop biological weapons that would work in tropical Asia without spreading to Australia's more temperate population centres. Burnet wrote a comprehensive memo to the Department of Defence in which he said Australia should develop biological weapons that would work in tropical Asia without spreading to Australia's more temperate population centres. "Specifically to the Australian situation, the most effective counter-offensive to threatened invasion by overpopulated Asiatic countries would be directed towards the destruction by biological or chemical means of tropical food crops and the dissemination of infectious disease capable of spreading in tropical but not under Australian conditions."

Introduction th century (Tauber and Chernyak 1991; Mazumdar 1995), has became a hotly contested one today (Langman 2000), and offers a rich philosophical topic, both in terms of its epistemological standing, as well as its metaphysical foundations (Tauber 1994; 1999). 2. Historical Antecedents th century, when Claude Bernard set the theoretical stage for the autonomous organism (E. Cohen 2001). In contradistinction to an animal in humoral balance with a pervasive environment, Bernard postulated the primacy of the organism's essential independence. Physiology became the mode of inquiry for medical experimentation, one that instantiated a reductive strategy based on positivist principles. Later, biochemistry and genetics pursued this methodological and theoretical approach, thereby providing medicine with its modern experimental basis. Bernard furnished biology with a new concept of the organism, one which would have wider ramifications than the establishment of a scientific method. Obviously, interchange with the environment was a necessary requirement for life, but Bernard emphasized how boundaries provided the crucial metabolic limits required for normal physiological function. With his concept of the

Home Issues Email alerts Classifieds ... Other articles have cited this article Editorials Researchers as guinea pigs Martin B Van Der Weyden MJA Self-experimentation in Australia is alive and well Many advances in modern medicine owe a great deal to human experimentation. Indeed, much of biomedical research is irrelevant to mainstream medicine unless its clinical utility is established through human experimentation, for, as observed by the English essayist Alexander Pope, "the proper study of mankind is man." Today the circumstances and conduct of human experimentation are painstakingly policed by ethics committees, but even such strict surveillance cannot guarantee safety: "because experiments with humans are voyages into the unknown, an element of risk is always involved; the potential for death, injury, or illness can be reduced, but it can not be eliminated." It is this very uncertainty that presents a dilemma for researchers. Sir George Pickering, past Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford, delineated this quandary: "The experimenter has one golden rule to guide him . . . Is he prepared to submit himself to the procedure? If he is, and if the experiment is actually carried out on him, then it is probably justifiable. If he is not, then [it] should not be done." In short, the researcher should be the guinea pig.

Title: MATTERS OF PUBLIC IMPORTANCE: Research and Development: Policy Date: 29 August 2000 Database: House Hansard Speaker: Jenkins, Harry, MP (Scullin, ALP) Mr JENKINS (Scullin) (4.17 p.m.) —From the outset, the Minister for the Arts and the Centenary of Federation doubted the sincerity of the opposition in putting this matter of public importance forward. He can be assured that this subject will be a matter that the opposition will return to from now until the election. We have been in the forefront of putting to the Australian public the fact that we will be looking towards putting in place policies that look to Australia truly being looked at as a knowledge nation. Australia has a proud tradition in science. In fact, the very first Australian of the Year, in 1960, was not a sporting hero but a Nobel laureate in medicine, Sir Frank Macfarlane Burnet. Along with Macfarlane Burnet, a number of other famous scientists have also been acknowledged as Australian of the Year. We had Sir John Eccles in 1963, another Nobel laureate in medicine; Sir John Cornforth in 1975, a Nobel laureate in chemistry; and, of course, in 1997, Professor Peter Doherty, our latest Nobel laureate in science. The current Australian of the Year is Sir Gustav Nossal, a very distinguished scientist in the field of immunology. Howard Florey was honoured in 1945 for his work in the discovery of penicillin. As I said, Australian Peter Doherty was awarded a Nobel prize in 1996. It is a fine tradition that is under enormous attack by the actions, and in some cases inaction, of the Howard government.

The Melbourne Anglican Home Past Issues Advertise in TMA Subscribe ... Diocese of Melbourne Home Meet Sir Gustav Nossal, Australian of the Year by Michael McGirr Sir Gustav Nossal, the Australian of the Year, was once reported as saying that when a scientist talks to people at a party, 'nobody has the least idea what you actually do.' The fact is that Gus Nossal does a great deal. You'd need a long party for him to get through the whole list. At 68 years of age, he is the deputy chairman of the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation, the patron and governor of the prestigious Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research in Melbourne, a professor of Medical Biology and a key adviser to the World Health Organisation (WHO) in the area of immunology. There is a thread that runs through these and Gus Nossal's many other activities. He is concerned that medical science remains at the service of the human community. In 45 years, he has seen enormous advances in what science can achieve. He has been the cause of some of those advances. Yet he stresses that medical science can never divorce itself from the ordinary person who wants to strike up a conversation at a party. More than that, he is coming more and more to emphasise the responsibility of science in creating justice. 'I call myself a Catholic. For me, a large part of that is a tremendously strong identification with the mission of the Church. An instinct for justice is central to that mission and central to being a Catholic. Even when I was young, my blood would boil with anger when I'd see a big kid bully a little kid. Now I have the same reaction when I see the widening gap between the haves and have nots. Someone has to say that there are values other than economic values. I believe the Church does that better than anyone.'

Marlena and I are delighted to host such a distinguished group of scientists, and to join you in celebrating this milestone in the history of the Australian Academy of Science. As a former soldier and State Governor, I’ve had a long-standing interest in science and technology – indeed, over the past few weeks I feel I’ve been immersed in it! In this room last month, we hosted a reception for a splendid group of around 120 young people taking part in the National Youth Science Forum. I was really struck by their intelligence and maturity. And I have no doubt that at least some of them will be working at the very top of their chosen field before we even know it.
