Larry has worked ceasessly in New Zealand since moving here in 1962.

He wrote and published a book, 'World War III and the Southern Hemisphere' in June 1963, in which he advanced the idea of a Nuclear Weapons-Free Southern Hemisphere and a positive role for New Zealand both to prevent nuclear war, and to follow a neutral, humanitarian foreign policy toward all sides if there was a nuclear WWIII.

He also worked with various peace organisations through the years and started the Australasian Branch of The Bertrand Russel Peace Foundation at the request of Lord Russell in about 1965.

Larry started the NZ Nuclear Free Zone Committee in January 1982, after getting the approval from the 1981 Annual Peace Conference at Living Springs, Christchurch for his five-point peace plan. That included plans to make all of New Zealand Nuclear Free with a positive foreign policy based on NZ neutrality and international peacemaking. This policy was actively promoted to NZ public and governments since 1981.

During 2006 and 2007 Larry toured NZ and spoke on the benefits of our Nuclear Free policies and the increasing dangers of a nuclear war.
