Join Rawan Arraf (Australian Centre for International Justice), Greens Federal Senator David Shoebridge and Professor Jamie Reilly to unpack the real impact of our toxic alliance with the US, and what alternatives are open to Australia.

We can end AUKUS.

It starts with learning how our one-sided relationship with the US stops Australia from being a force for peace and justice in the world, and what we can do to change it.

From Iraq to Gaza and Iran, we have seen how Australia has become a hostage, not an ally, of the US. But it doesn't have to be this way.

This free event about AUKUS and independence gives the community the chance to hear directly from highly regarded experts who will present important facts and context to help inform the community and broaden our knowledge on these critical foreign policy issues.

It also lays the groundwork for an independent foreign and defence policy that works with our neighbours, not against them.
