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…

Re-think Defence – Assert independence!

Australia has unwisely signed two agreements that make us a military appendage of the USA: AUKUS, first signed in 2021 and superseded in 2024 by AUKUS 2.0 and the Force Posture Agreement signed in 2014.

AUKUS – referred to as a security and technology-sharing pact – is indirectly a military agreement with the USA and the UK which:

• Has never been subjected to public or parliamentary scrutiny
• Guarantees us nothing (except huge costs)
• à Commits Australia to buying and building nuclear-powered submarines
• Puts Australia in lockstep with an erratic USA and its growing hostility to China
• Commits us to even deeper dependency on US foreign and defence policy
• Ties Australia further into the US military-industrial complex
• Commits us to permanent storage of radioactive waste from nuclear powered submarines
• AUKUS and associated commitments are projected to cost Australia $375 billion (plus future cost blowouts). This includes shoring up both the US ship building capacity and Rolls Royce’s manufacturing of SSN-AUKUS nuclear reactors in the UK: Both to the non- refundable tune (even if the submarines never eventuate) of approximately AU$5 billion each.

 The Force Posture Agreement (FPA)

• Gives the USA a heavy military footprint on Australia facilitating the USA using Australia as an operational base for its war games and forward posturing
• Enables the USA to operate nuclear-capable bombers and warships from Australia, without declaring if they are actually nuclear armed
• Inevitably makes us a party to regional US military actions
• Australia should prioritise peace, an independent foreign and defence policy and good diplomatic relations in our region – not the endless and dangerous cycle of militarisation.
