‘Branch by branch anti-war activists are passing resolutions. We now go into National Conference. We’re not expecting to win at the first hurdle. This is a long campaign to win the Labor Party from being a war party to being a peace party’:

Kim Beazley claims the AUKUS debate within the ALP is resolved.
"There was no rebellion. In the end, support for AUKUS was resoundingly endorsed by delegates."
I wonder how many ALP members would disagree?

Pine Gap is supporting Israel's attacks on Gaza
Where is the public debate on this?
Do Australian's get to voice an opinion on whether to support this assault from Australian soil?
No!

Good question and one I've asked myself as I've been involved in both parties over the years...the answer is a long story, but things might change soon as AUKUS will likely be a deal-breaker for me
As millions marched in protest across the world in 2003, I walked the streets of Baghdad trying to convince ordinary Iraqis that Australians did not want to kill them.
One person can decide if Australia goes to war. Here’s why that needs to change

I don't appreciate having my excellent ABC Sydney radio programming interrupted for the broadcast of a cruel and archaic horse race.
The race may have once stopped a nation, now it disgusts a nation
Please don't make the same mistake next year

Thank you
@yumichild
for speaking the truth! Thank God you were there to do so...statements like that from KAK cannot be left unchallenged
That would be targeting information based on signals intelligence collected by a US spy satellite, processed by our 'Joint Defence Facility Pine Gap', and forwarded to the Israel Defence Force. Did we just target our own aid worker,

The ability to send troops overseas is referred to as war powers. If Australia had to decide on going to war today, it would be Scott Morrison and the Executive making the decision.

Are you comfortable with our PM or Executive alone making a decision to follow Trump into international conflict? We need War Powers Reform. We need parliamentary oversight over these decisions.

Yes, spoke of the many other protests in detailed 3 hour interview, but did not make final cut I see - the history of protests at Pine Gap deserves a doco of it's own to accompany Kieran's fine book!
Thank you
@AnthonyDAdamMLC
for giving a voice to Labor rank and file concerns on AUKUS by opening up debate on this awful Scott Morrison policy!
The anti-AUKUS rumbling in the branches is growing louder...

Very Similar to situation in Iraq...
Did you know that more than a third of Sardinia's land, sea and airspace is off limits? The area is controlled by the Italian military, and rented out for weapons testing and some of the world’s biggest war games.

When ordered to jump, our reply was invariably “How high?” All the way with LBJ or GWB in conflicts that were none of our business. Donating Pine Gap to America’s cause; offering the Northern Territory as a US base.

There are 12 of us on this link so far, but journalists can join for another half an hour.
Well cross to the court room shortly before 10 London time.
This sacred place has played a huge role in my life story, devastated today like so many others. Had plans to pilgrimage to her this year..., can't stop crying
