The team visited Australia to discuss the effects of Agent Orange. John Ellis describes the background to the visit: "Thousands of tons of this herbicide, manufactured by Dow Chemical, were dropped on Vietnam during the war. It was an attempt to defoliate the vegetation, thus leaving the Vietnamese exposed to the invading U.S. and Australian troops. This act of barbarity left a legacy of deformed babies and many incurable diseases for the Vietnamese people as well as U.S. and Australian troops. A meeting was held in Clyde Holding's electoral office in Ackland Street."Access StatusOpen for public accessRequest TypeRequest itemCopyright StatusUniversity copyrightConditions of Use and ReproductionCopyright owned by University of Melbourne Archives.
