  • Call to ban cluster bomb investment

    During UN Disarmament Week (October 24-31), a bill to enact the UN Convention banning Cluster Munitions is to be tabled in the House of Representatives.

  • Brisbane Protest: Welfare Not Warfare

    • Magan-djin/Brisbane

    Albanese is pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into war when students, workers and the poor are facing an acute cost-of-living crisis. These are part of the AUKUS deal that pushes Australia closer to war. We demand the submarine deal be scrapped and the $368 billion be spent on things to improve the lives of ordinary people, like building 1.4 million public housing units, making education free for all students, or raising all welfare payments to at least $88/day. We refuse to accept social services being neglected to fund the military.

    • Kaurna Yerta/Adelaide

    The AUKUS nuclear submarines are a disaster for students. They push us closer to war, are a colossal waste of money, and will mean dumping of nuclear waste on Indigenous land - likely in our state. Yet South Australian universities have announced hundreds of places for programs to support the AUKUS nuclear submarine deal.
