Agent TypeOrganisationActivities & OccupationsPolitical partiesHistoryThe Australian Peace Pledge Union was formed in England in response to World War One. Its Australian counterpart attracted over one thousand pacifists who joined groups in several capital cities between 1936 and 1939 and pledged not to support any war. The PPU were a vocal and outspoken lobby group during the Second World War, particularly opposed to the issue of conscription. After the Armistice, the party continued to renounce war and refused to sanction another. Vivienne Abrahams was a long standing member of the PPU in Melbourne and was its Secretary from 1946.
