Thousands of trade unionists (including many members of the Australian Labor Party) and anti-war activists marched through Port Kembla on May 6 to reject the plan to site the AUKUS nuclear-powered submarine base in that town.
The Wollongong May Day march was held in Port Kembla as a symbolic launch of a mass campaign of "feet in the streets" to stop this nuclear military madness, South Coast Labour Council secretary Arthur Rorris told the marchers.
