Former Australian Foreign Minister Gareth Evans on why Australia should walk away from AUKUS. Seriously @albomp.bsky.social. Read the room johnmenadue.com/post/2026/01...

Former Labor foreign ministers Bob Carr and Gareth Evans say Australia should abandon AUKUS and reconsider alliance with the United States. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

According to the SMH report, Pentagon review won't be made public. US reserves right to cancel project if not enough subs being made. And Australia must keep coughing up billon after billion with no guarantee of delivery. www.smh.com.au/world/north-...

Mark Beeson review of Clinton Fernandes book "Turbulence: Australian Foreign Policy in the Trump Era" Fernandes: "Australia’s policy planners are motivated by a single standard–does something protect or advance US power and Australia’s relevance to it?" theconversation.com/hypocrisy-an...

Thank you Enmore Branch (NSW). Resolved to oppose the @lockheedmartian.bsky.social missile co-production, locking Australia into US military supply chains and interoperable command structures.

Peace is union business! National conference in Melbourne, 9-10 December. Great initiative from these unions to ensure peace, disarmament and antimilitarism are at the heart of working class organisations.

Congratulations to the Makin FEC (Federal Electoral Council) in South Australia for passing our resolutions calling for an independent parliamentary inquiry and to remove AUKUS from the @australianlabor.bsky.social ALP National Platform.

Congratulations Box Hill branch of Victorian @australianlabor.bsky.social supporting LAW motions for an independent inquiry and to remove AUKUS from the ALP Platform.

Good money after bad. Pat Conroy confirms next billion dollar payment of Australian taxpayer’s money to Trump’s Pentagon going ahead - even while US review of AUKUS is under way Trump must be laughing all the way to the bank. Why would he ditch it? www.reuters.com/business/aer...

Congratulations and thank you Preston Branch @victorianlabor.bsky.social for making it clear that the ALP membership rejects AUKUS for the dangerous fraud it is

With Port Kembla a potential base for US nuclear subs, congratulations North Nowra & Bomaderry NSW ALP comrades on the NSW south coast for taking a clear stand against AUKUS.

Congratulations to Indi Federal Electoral Assembly in regional @victorianlabor.bsky.social, which has unanimously endorsed our motions for a parliamentary inquiry and to remove AUKUS from the @australianlabor.bsky.social national platform.

Hawthorn and Kew (@victorianlabor.bsky.social) ALP branches have endorsed Labor Against War call for a parliamentary inquiry into AUKUS and to remove AUKUS from the @australianlabor.bsky.social National Platform.

There has been a 'Category A' serious nuclear incident at Falsane naval base in Scotland, the home to Britain's nuclear submarine fleet. Australia can't afford - financially or environmentally - to host US nuclear submarines through AUKUS. Quit AUKUS now. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

The ALP Federal Electoral Council for the seat of Sydney (the seat of @tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social‬) has endorsed Labor Against War's call to remove AUKUS from the ALP National Platform and for a parliamentary inquiry.

Great to see our campaign against AUKUS getting support in regional NSW with support from Yass branch

Thank you Gippsland South branch in Victorian ALP, calling for an independent parliamentary inquiry into AUKUS.

Labor Against War Victoria convenor Hamish McPherson on Saturday outlining the new Victorian ALP policy on AUKUS: - Full parliamentary inquiry - Suspend all participation and payments to AUKUS pending inquiry - Remove commitment to AUKUS from the ALP national platform

BREAKING: VICTORIAN ALP REJECTS AUKUS

Congratulations to Maritime Union of Australia First Nations Rank and File members for making their voice heard on AUKUS and nuclear weapons. Full motion in 🧵

Congratulations to Glebe NSW ALP branch for passing our motions calling for an independent inquiry into AUKUS and to remove AUKUS from the @australianlabor.bsky.social National Platform at conference next year.

Incoming chief of US Navy operations says US nuke sub produciton “isn’t where it needs to be to make good on the AUKUS agreement”. It’s either a shake down for more cash, or a US push to keep control of rotating subs Either way, it’s time to sink AUKUS www.smh.com.au/world/north-...

A ‘reliable ally’? Or a global power looking to leverage Australian geography to maintain its empire? www.smh.com.au/world/north-...

Congratulations to Enmore branch in PM @albomp.bsky.social electorate for UNANIMOUSLY backing our motions calling for an inquiry and removing AUKUS from the ALP national platform.

DON’T MISS our National Patron Doug Cameron speaking Sunday (tomorrow) at the launch of IPAN campaign against AUKUS Register: 👇 events.humanitix.com/cancel-aukus...

AUKUS was already a price too much to pay - politically and economically. With Trump likely to put up cost and say the quiet part out loud insisting the subs form part of any war with China then @albomp.bsky.social has to dump AUKUS. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Congratulations Armidale branch on the NSW New England tableland for this week supporting our motion calling for an independent inquiry into AUKUS.

Is it time for Australia to get out of AUKUS? Worthwhile video analysis from @thesaturdaypaper.com.au www.youtube.com/watch?v=9t-Y...

Leichhardt branch NSW ALP in the Prime Minister’s electorate of Grayndler has passed our motion calling for an independent parliamentary inquiry into AUKUS - and for the branch to make a submission to any inquiry calling for AUKUS to be scrapped.

No guarantees from US Secretary of State AUKUS will proceed. But we can't afford to wait for AUKUS to fail (this year, next year, in 10 years). We need to change course and insist on an independent, anti-militarist, non-nuclear foreign and defence policy. www.smh.com.au/world/north-...

Fantastic to see the Electrical Trades Union in QLD & NT calling for the Australian government to withdraw from AUKUS. The ACTU and the labour movement must get behind the campaign against militarism, for decent jobs that are for peace, not war.

Former SMH Foreign Editor Hamish McDonald argues the second-term @albomp.bsky.social Labor government should use this opportunity to kill the ‘AUKUS zombie’. We in the rank and file couldn’t agree more. insidestory.org.au/tackling-the...

The British Parliament has launched an inquiry into AUKUS. We hope a returned Albanese government will do the same as a step towards scrapping the dangerous and overpriced (in)security pact. www.smh.com.au/world/europe...

ALP dissent over AUKUS in @australia.theguardian.com today "The drums of Labor dissent on AUKUS are beating. Compounded by US tariffs, they’ll get louder if Albanese is returned on 3 May." Too bloody right! Thanks to our patron Doug Cameron for standing up! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Our message for a second-term Labor Government to scrap AUKUS is loud and clear as reported here by Isobel Roe from ABC News

Former head of Australian Defence Force Admiral Chris Barrie says we need a rethink on AUKUS. If you are ignoring ALP rank and file @albomp.bsky.social & Richard Marles maybe listen to the brass? www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

From @johnmenadue.com: "Our media keeps telling us of the importance of AUKUS for the defence of Australia. But AUKUS is not for the defence of Australia; it is to join with the US to confront the Chinese on their coast in the South China Sea." johnmenadue.com/the-aukus-ch...

When a former Australian ambassador to the US effectively says that the next government needs to plan without AUKUS, then people should start paying attention. It's time to quit AUKUS. www.afr.com/policy/forei...

More Australians think Trump is the biggest threat to world peace than any other world leader. @australiainstitute.org.au poll. AUKUS was bad under Biden. Now it's mad. australiainstitute.org.au/post/poll-tr...

Seriously. It’s time to sink AUKUS. The writing is on the wall Australians need to find peace & security with Asia, not against it as a foreign outpost of fading Anglosphere empires a world away David Crowe SMH: “Trump Has Sent A Wrecking Ball Through Old Alliances” www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

“How’s that multigenerational policy genius looking now?” Columnist Shaun Carney in SMH points out the obvious. Not even a $800m AUKUS payment guarantees Australia favourable treatment from the USA Scrap AUKUS www.smh.com.au/national/tru...

Front page of today’s Sun-Herald says everything you need to know about priorities. $573m for women’s health. $800m as a single downpayment for ongoing ‘protection money’ to Trump ostensibly for AUKUS subs but in reality ‘financial support for US naval shipbuilding’.

Former Labor minister and Midnight Oil member Peter Garrett speaks out on AUKUS "I’m on a unity ticket with Bob Carr and Paul Keating. This is the worst deal that we’ve ever seen done by a sovereign Australian government." www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

AUKUS briefing for ALP members with Bob Carr. This Saturday at 11am in Sydney. RSVPs essential AUKUS: should we go all the way with DJ Trump? events.humanitix.com/all-the-way-...

The disaster that is AUKUS continues. With budgets blown, morale low and the end point of this a US war with China when will Albanese and Marles call time on this fiasco theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

AUKUS subs are $US17,000,000,000 over budget and *years* behind schedule. Delays are threatening to undermine the AUKUS agreement. Don’t take our word for it. Read it here. nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/vi...

Professor Wanning Sun from UTS says opinion polls on AUKUS reflect how the questions are asked. Australians are unsupportive of AUKUS if they are given a full picture of the nuclear submarines pact and informed about who is paying for it all. www.crikey.com.au/2024/12/04/d...

Ex Senator and submariner @mrrexpatrick.bsky.social with an update on AUKUS: “AUKUS is a mess. But as far as the major party politicians are concerned, it’s too big to fail. The Coalition came up with the idea and then Labor swallowed it, hook, line and sinker.” michaelwest.com.au/status-of-au...

Imagine having your entire future 40-year foreign and defence policy in the hands of Donald Trump.... Scrap AUKUS. theconversation.com/will-donald-...
