Independent Peaceful Australia Network is made up of organisations united in support of independent foreign policy based on peaceful resolution of conflicts.
Former senior Labor politician dismisses his party for having lost the plot:
“AUKUS is a defence, economic and social disaster for Australia — driven by naïve politicians, lobbyists, arms industry think tanks, and a revolving door of retired politicians, public servants, and military personnel.
“Jargon such as this beggars belief:
▪️‘progressive patriotism’,
▪️‘steady progress’,
▪️‘all on track’,
▪️‘historic opportunities’,
▪️‘creating jobs’.
“It is time for the Australian community to tell the Albanese government to stop treating all of us as mugs; enough is enough with this madness.”
AUKUS has escaped proper scrutiny for five years. That is about to change https://t.co/9Nkfewt41k
The report notes that Australia, as a non-nuclear-weapon state, cannot guarantee participation in a U.S. conflict, meaning submarines under Australian command might be unable to deploy in certain contingencies, weakening deterrence from the U.S. perspective.
As First Nations spokesperson for the Greens I'm deeply concerned that the NT Govt has cancelled funding to the Bush Bus and cut whole communities off - I'm calling on the Federal Government to follow this up and do whatever possible to make sure people aren't just stranded.

'In an address this week, Mr Kirby argued that poverty wasn’t simply an economic issue but a fundamental human rights matter that was holding people back from participating in democracy and having their voices heard.
“When institutions become more responsive to the powerful than to the vulnerable, public policies inevitably reflect that imbalance,” he said.
“The result is a vicious cycle. Poverty weakens democracy. Weakened democracy allows poverty to persist and even to get worse.”'
