Anti-war conference: Stopping AUKUS & war on China
Venue and details to be confirmed
Sydney Anti-AUKUS Coalition
September marks two years since Scott Morrison signed the controversial AUKUS nuclear submarine deal with the United States and Britain. As opposition grows to this wasteful and warmongering deal, including among Labor's ranks, come and show your opposition to preparations for a new war in the Asia-Pacific.
To coincide with the 78th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, and Nagasaki please come along to reflect on the impacts of nuclear war and unite in the calls to ban nuclear weapons, cancel AUKUS and nuclear submarines and call for peace.
AUKUS will increase the likelihood of war in the region and place Australia in the frontline of any US-led war on China, direct immense public money to the military, and more. Come and discuss how we can stop AUKUS and redirect the $368 billion to social and ecological needs.
Scott Morrison and the Liberals are fanning the flames of war between the U.S. and China. In September last year Morrison announced the AUKUS Pact- a new military agreement between Australia, the U.S. and the UK which will further militarise the region and see Australia become only the 7th country in the world to acquire nuclear powered submarines. Join Sydney Anti-AUKUS Coalition for this important online meeting about how we can resist the disastrous drive to war.
