The AUKUS AFP Command’s powers cover the security of AUKUS operations\, extending to wider US military activity elsewhere. Its activities are of conside rable concern since among its roles is “Public Order Management” listing of “munitions” which include tear gas\, pepper spray\, rubber bullets a nd real firearms. \;\n \;\nIs this the Australia we want for ourse lves\, our children and the world? \;\n \;\nSince 2003 and 9/11 a raft of laws have been passed by successive Australian governments attac king our civil and democratic rights\, including freedom of speech and p olitical protest. Some of these laws have been used against the environ ment movement. \;\n \;\nMore 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 “ha te laws” by the Federal Government. \;\n \;\nMore widely\, protest s are arising from concern with the huge diversion of public money for t he AUKUS war pact and its nuclear submarines away from urgent social nee ds 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. \ ;\n \;\nThese public concerns extend to the increasing US military fo otprint across Australia\, enabled by the 2014 Force Posture Agreement.& #13\;\n \;\nJoin this webinar\, ask questions\, discuss action.\n\nTa gs: AUKUS\, anti-nuclear\, War\, Imperialism\n\nImported from: https://s eedbomb.au/events/373 URL:https://events.humanitix.com/the-dangerous-world-of-aukus-and-us-mili tary-occupation SUMMARY:The dangerous world of AUKUS and US military occupation LOCATION:Online Event: false SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260405T012525Z DTEND;TZID=Australia/Adelaide;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260605T220000 DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Adelaide;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260605T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260405T012525Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260405T012525Z UID:https://seedbomb.au/events/361 DESCRIPTION:Watch the Trailer: https://youtu.be/rphBWk15_h4 \;\n \; \nA US foreign policy reporter\, Abby Martin\, and her Iraq veteran husb and turn their sights on the hidden impact that the US military has on t he planet\, after the birth of their first child created them anxiety ab out the climate crisis.
