China suggested the US use its influence with Israel to stop the conflict with Iran from spilling over, a sign Beijing is becoming increasingly concerned about the stability of a region it relies on for energy supplies.

A new nuclear arms race is underway, just as arms control collapses. States are modernizing warheads, expanding delivery systems, and gambling with AI-driven weapons. This path leads nowhere but disaster. Disarmament NOW. buff.ly/pLhAdQ4 #nuclearban

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ordered officials to increase the production of medium and long-range missiles in light of the Israel-Iran conflict, an acceleration of plans to develop a strong home-grown industry.

Don't miss this finale on Saturday of the 'Atomic Age on Film' -an insightful and timely festival curated by Dr Mick Broderick. Sponsored by Medical Association for Prevention of War Nuclear Free WA and ICAN Australia. Book now to avoid missing out.

The war in Gaza has already released more emissions than 36 countries do in a year. And that’s before the carbon cost of rebuilding a devastated region. War is mass climate damage.

Solidarity action this Friday @ 5pm, with the civilian March to Gaza happening this weekend. Around 1000 people are meeting in Cairo this Friday before marching to Rafah together to break the months long blockade on Gaza. Meet across from Zara in Murray Street Mall. 5PM this Friday. Host: FOPWA

Hope to see you at the Protest trump NDA this Saturday 24 May - Boorloo Rally @ 2PM Solidarity Park. Cancel AUKUS | the US Alliance | End the FPA!

A sharp reminder and call for Australia to sign the TPNW. Tix through Humanitix: the Atomic Age on Film. Preview: youtu.be/QBSX-cp0d9c?...

A great bunch of organisations supporting this Saturday's NDA rejecting Trumpism.... in Boorloo For the sake of our regional security, now more than ever, Australia must pull out of AUKUS, the FPA and the US [defence] Alliance.

Apparently 66% of Australians no longer see benefit in tying us to the US. Cancel the #AUKUS boondoggle. Which means voting out the #duopoly. @stopaukuswa.bsky.social #auspol #wapol

Stop pouring money down the #AUKUS drain. Vote out the #duopoly who are in lockstep on it. @stopaukuswa.bsky.social #auspol #wapol

Australia is in breach of int'l law via its prolific aid to Israel to conduct genocide in Gaza (ICJ rulings). Important story by KellieTranter @declassifiedaus.bsky.social who got the export permits info #auspol michaelwest.com.au/smorgasbord-...

This Dutton guy actually wants to spend more on AUKUS. You know that eject button? It’s time to push it.

You can’t pretend to be genuine about Australia’s defence if you are burning $375 billion for never-to-be-seen nuclear submarines in a four decade long plan with Trump’s new America. You just can’t.

Dutton is desperate to join the next US war wherever that is and whoever it is against. The Greens are with the millions of Australians who oppose war. We need to help de-escalate tensions and restructure the ADF to defend Australia but not threaten our neighbours.

5/ Labor’s repeated false denials and gaslighting on Australian weapons in Israel is how the Albanese Government pretends it can’t do anything to help end the killing. Here is Minister Wong doing just that about F-35 fighter jet parts a year ago.

BREAKING: There is new evidence of Australian-made weapons ending up in Israel, this time with the Israeli Defence Minister appearing beside a 'lethal' remote weapons system in early 2025. More below👇

NO AUKUS - NO NUKES Snap Protest & short walk to Churchill Park Join us to stand up and speak out – to tell our politicians we don’t want nuclear powered submarines and the inherent nuclear waste, and health, safety and environmental risks they will bring. Trump can't be trusted. Cancel AUKUS!

The Israeli military has called on residents to evacuate several neighborhoods in Gaza City, the latest in a series of orders that have forced Palestinians to flee as Israel again escalates its offensive against Hamas in the war-battered Gaza Strip.

Your weekly reminder that the Greens are the only party that is committed to ending AUKUS and making Australia independent from Trump’s US military.

When "defence" is actually offence or war. Not only @davidshoebridge.bsky.social who can see better alternatives. How about responsible Foreign Affairs and #diplomacy? @stopaukuswa.bsky.social #auspol #wapol

Govt lawyers threatened me not to publish arguments they were using to keep an #AUKUS high level nuclear waste location report secret. I asked @michaelwest.com.au.web.brid.gy to publish the arguments and then said to the Govt, “put up, or shut up”. They put up. 👇THEY LOST!👇 💪👊💥 #auspol

Terrifyingly hilarious? Stop #AUKUS @stopaukuswa.bsky.social #auspol #wapol www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Prime Minister should not be inviting Trump to Australia. Trump is a danger to peace and a danger to democracy. He emboldens hate and hard-right ideology. We should be rethinking our relationship with Trump's US, not sucking up to him.

The Trump administration leaks war plans by adding a journalist to a signal chat and the Albanese Government INCREASES funding to AUKUS by another $6 billion on the same day. You couldn't make it up.

Time to stop the fear mongering: We don't need fast attack nuclear powered submarines nor so many vehicles and long range weapons. Defence should be just that - defence of our security, environment, land and seas: Not fighting US wars! #cancelaukus #nonukesubs #peacenotwar

Budget day on Tuesday:

How should Australia respond when the US, our closest ally, is engaged in a very public and petulant global meltdown? From our perspective, step one is to get out of AUKUS as quickly as possible.

Australia has F35 fighter jets, Tomahawk missiles, AEGIS air warfare systems, Triton drones, etc, etc, all US weapons systems and all reliant on US goodwill to either target or keep working. Reminder: Trump does not own goodwill. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

Protecting our independence. This is how we must react to Trump's bullying. Here’s a clue, it’s not by begging a favour, or doubling down on failure, it’s about believing in ourselves and our region.‬⁩ michaelwest.com.au/protecting-o...
