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.

Join this webinar, ask questions, discuss action.

Join us for Reconciliation Week 2026, themed “All In”—a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation, every single day.

The Mitcham Library Service is honoured to welcome Uncle Moogy (Major Lancelot Sumner), a senior Kaurna-Ngarrindjeri Elder from the Coorong, and Aunty Elaine (Munartu) Magias, a proud Kaurna–Narangga woman, for an evening of deep cultural reflection, storytelling, and truth-telling.

Across one powerful night, Uncle Moogy and Aunty Elaine generously shared their personal journeys, cultural knowledge, and perspectives on Aboriginal culture, community, sharing, and working together. Though each carries different lived experiences of the Stolen Generations, they came together in a spirit of strength, generosity, and healing—offering attendees a rare opportunity to listen deeply, learn, and reflect.

The evening explored:

the importance of truth-telling in understanding Australia’s shared history

the resilience and cultural continuity of First Nations communities

personal stories of survival, identity, and connection to Country

ways communities can walk together towards respect, understanding, and reconciliation

This event provided a significant and meaningful opportunity to hear from two respected cultural leaders whose voices continue to shape reconciliation efforts across South Australia. Their honesty, wisdom, and cultural leadership offered a strong foundation for ongoing community healing and shared understanding.

Join us for a Gala Dinner on 30 May 2026 as we come together to fundraise for the vital work of the Australian Friends of Palestine Association (AFOPA).

The evening will bring our community together to share a meal, hear from speakers, reflect on everything we have achieved as a solidarity movement and the critical work ahead. Throughout the night, we will also celebrate Palestinian culture and resilience.

Your ticket includes a Three-course Dinner, Drinks, Entertainment, Silent Auction, Guest Speaker

Every ticket goes directly towards sustaining AFOPA’s advocacy and action for Palestinian liberation.

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.

Watch the Trailer: https://youtu.be/rphBWk15_h4

A US foreign policy reporter, Abby Martin, and her Iraq veteran husband turn their sights on the hidden impact that the US military has on the planet, after the birth of their first child created them anxiety about the climate crisis. Their investigation exposes a secretive and constantly-expanding web of pollution, cover-ups and unaccountability by the world’s biggest polluter.

The film, Earth’s Greatest Enemy, reveals a hidden truth behind global heating: the role of the US Military as the world’s largest institutional polluter, tracing the link between war, empire, and ecological destruction.

About the workshop:

In many spaces suicide distress is discussed through a risk-averse lens that centres organisational safety over human connection. Part of having a more human approach to supporting people starts with addressing common myths and misconceptions about suicide, as well as approaching the support in a way that upholds dignity, autonomy, and human rights. This workshop aims to build the skills of attendees, is built on the foundations of lived experience wisdom and is facilitated by people with lived experience of suicide distress.

Who this workshop is for:

This workshop is for lived experience community members that want to learn skills around more compassionately supporting people in distress who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts.

At LELAN we define lived experience as having been through mental health issues and/or distress, social issues, or injustice that is so significant we have to have to reimagine and redefine ourselves, our place in the world, and our future plans [Louise Byrne & Til Wykes, 2020].

Themes covered:

common myths and misconceptions

addressing who risk-averse approaches really protects

the reality of harm caused by clinical approaches, police, and forced interventions

what it really looks like when dignity, autonomy, and human rights are upheld in responses to suicide distress

skills for connecting and supporting people in suicide distress that are centred in compassion

Structure of the day:

This is an interactive facilitated workshop that will include presentation of information by the facilitator(s), large and small group discussions and reflective exercises. The knowledge, skills and diverse experiences of participants will be drawn on to create an environment of dialogue, shared learning and community.

Workshop facilitator:

The lead facilitator for this workshop will be Emrys Temple-Heald (He/Him), Peer Training Coordinator.
