WednesdayMay 20 2026The dangerous world of AUKUS and US military occupationWebsite
National Webinar, 20th May, 2026, 6.30pm AEST
The dangerous world of AUKUS and US military occupation
Confronting laws restricting/suppressing protest speech and action
Speakers: Sen.Rex Patrick, Lawyer Nick Hanna, Arthur Rorris, Jorgen Doyle, Sen David Shoebbridge, Facilitator Kelley Tranter.
A new Federal Police unit has been created to intimidate and deter protesting demonstrations against AUKUS.
The AUKUS AFP Command has been established under the Australian Federal Police (AFP), in conjunction with the Department of Defence. The AUKUS AFP Command’s powers cover the security of AUKUS operations, extending to wider US military activity elsewhere. Its activities are of considerable concern since among its roles is “Public Order Management” listing of “munitions” which include tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets and real firearms.
Is this the Australia we want for ourselves, our children and the world?
Since 2003 and 9/11 a raft of laws have been passed by successive Australian governments attacking our civil and democratic rights, including freedom of speech and political protest. Some of these laws have been used against the environment movement.
More laws have been passed recently aimed at suppressing the huge upsurge of outrage against Israel’s genocide in Gaza, including draconian anti-protest laws in several states, and “hate laws” by the Federal Government.
More widely, protests are arising from concern with the huge diversion of public money for the AUKUS war pact and its nuclear submarines away from urgent social needs including the climate crisis. Communities and environmentalists are concerned with nuclear exposures. There is growing opposition to AUKUS embedding Australia in another US-led war, possibly a nuclear war.
These public concerns extend to the increasing US military footprint across Australia, enabled by the 2014 Force Posture Agreement.

SundayMay 31 2026Introduction to Duckling Care presented by Leonie WeaverWebsite
Why does our wildlife need your help?
Our wildlife populations face many dangers as their habitat decreases and they are forced to live closer to us. The biggest dangers are cats, dogs, cars, poisons and loss of native habitat. When concerned members of the public find wildlife that is sick, injured or orphaned, they look to vets and wildlife volunteers to step in and help. In a future of climate change, wildlife carers and rescuers will be more important than ever.
Introduction to Duckling Care Course Outline Presented by Leonie Weaver
Please bring pen and paper to take your own notes. A manual hand-out will hopefully be available on the day.
