The Australian Anti-AUKUS Coalition (AAAC) is campaigning for an Australia that is committed to peace, justice and a nuclear-free world. In Australia, this starts with acknowledgement of invasion, and solidarity with First people’s struggle for justice and sovereignty. The national coalition is calling for a united front against AUKUS, nuclear submarines, a broad movement for peace and a nuclear-free Australia. Read more…
AAAC 4th July Webinar: Independence – Breaking US Stranglehold on Australia. Link to YouTube
The U.S. is the dominant global power with extensive political, economic, military influence and power over many countries, including Australia.
In Australia this U.S.dominance also extends to Australia’s foreign policies, and impacts on our democratic rights.
AUKUS is locking Australia more deeply into US global militarisation and US led wars, in particular the Asia-Pacific Region.

Recorded: National Zoom Public Meeting

More information & video recording here
Call for Peace statement
We call on the Government of Australia in the interests of peace and security for the Australian people and the region.
Union resolution
Resolution passed unanimously at the Construction Forestry Maritime Mining and Energy Union (CFMMEU) National Conference December 2022:
CFMMEU National Conference is opposed to the ongoing and reckless AUKUS military alliance to develop nuclear submarine capability.
The secretive plan could cost as much as $170 billion and continues to escalate conflict with China and throughout our region.
This money should be spent on health care, education, social housing, natural disaster response and development of publicly owned renewable energy capacity.
We support workers across the world opposing war and excessive military spending and pledge ongoing opposition to further expansion of the nuclear industry.
We need more of this. Pass a resolution at any level in your union and let us know!
