An Adelaide woman is urging all Australians to observe three minutes of silence on New Year’s Day as a call for peace around the world.
Mary Cassini first began promoting her idea in 1984 and it has since been embraced in many countries.
She said the three minutes of silence at 11am in each time zone was a chance for all people to remember the past and wish for an end to conflict.
“The world silence does unite people of all races, ideologies and beliefs,” she said.
“It gives us all a chance to pause and reflect on our global relationship to each other and to our earth.”
