Regarding Robyn Lim's Nov. 23 article, "Australia facing tough nuclear issues": This is a pro-nuclear screed in which Lim makes an incredible allegation: that the "antinuclear allergies" of the left wing of the Labor Party and the Greens "reflect in large part the success in Australia of Soviet antinuclear propaganda." This McCarthyesque allegation impugns the motives, intelligence and intellectual independence of many Australians. Lim should at least present evidence to support her allegations -- particularly of cause and effect. Otherwise one must assume that she is wrong.
