When

Why
Come and join us to express in words, song and action our outrage that the final frontier is being colonised by the military.
While people starve and are homeless in the country, our taxes will be used to fund war-making in space.
US-NATO space tech is already playing a leading role in the wars in Ukraine and the genocidal zionist war in Palestine. The two babies killed alongside their doctor mother in Gaza last August are believed to have been targeted by Israel using Google’s AI Project Numbus.
Right now we are witnessing an unprecedented use of satellite technology in targeted killings which will only increase.
We know that Pine Gap, known locally as the ‘space base’ has been used in US led conflicts since 1991. It has been targeting civilians in the wars against Iraq, Afghanistan, and facilitating drone attacks on villagers on Pakistani border with Afghanistan.
Currently, Pine Gap is being used to facilitate the massacre against Gaza and nearby countries on behalf of Israel.
Space is currently a war fighting mechanism.
We need to decouple space from the military
We advocate for the separation of military and defense interests from space activities. We aim to establish guidelines and agreements that promote the peaceful use of space for scientific, commercial, and humanitarian purposes.
Australia is too close to the US and its Empire
Prominent people in Australia from former Prime Ministers to academics and movements among Australia’s civil society have been campaigning for an end to the US/Australian alliance.
Recent polls of Australians have found a paltry 37% approval rating for the US.
This alliance means that cities and towns in Australia will become nuclear targets in the event of a hot war with China.
It is the US that is leading us into using our resources for armaments and insisting that we increase military spending while the world’s and Australia’s needs are for more resources for climate change and better social services such as health, education and welfare.
While we welcome Australian ingenuity and expertise being devoted to a new frontier space, we recoil at the automatic involvement of the military in this new and exciting frontier.
“The first casualty of war is truth; the rest is mainly civilians.”
