Australia is preparing to spend $375 billion on AUKUS nuclear-powered submarines, handcuffing Australia to the United States military. 

Palestinians continue to endure a genocide by Israel, while Labor has failed to end the two-way arms trade. This is because the major parties have prioritised the US above all else. To take action against genocide means ending AUKUS. 

Join Greens Federal Senator David Shoebridge, Jenny Leong, Member for Newtown, and Palestinian community activists Safaa Rayaan and Adriana Boisen for a conversation about AUKUS, Australia’s role in global conflict and how we can build a foreign policy that puts people and peace before US forever wars.
