What's in store for Australia if we persist with AUKUS
Surrounded by secrecy and unanswered questions, Australians are still in the dark as to what our country's persistence with the AUKUS agreement holds.

Lib/Labs both committed to #AUKUS to support the US in threatening China. They will both expand war spending. Help #Climate200 and the #Greens hold their feet to the fire to address our complicity with US warmongering and the most urgent threat to security- the #ClimateCrisis Vote Peace not War

I just keep thinking of the heartlessness of going to an election promising to sack 41,000 people just because they’ve chosen public service. The LNP talks of small business owners going out of business as a tragedy. How is sending thousands of people into unemployment not?

We have been calling for Australia to cut ties with the US war mongers for years. Now is our chance. They are not an appropriate ally, research or financial partner. And no point waiting 4yrs for Trump to go away. His regimes destruction is so careless and cruel it's unretrievable. End #aukus

So if we buy AUKUS nuclear subs, the US can turn them off if they don't like what we are doing! How many reasons do we need to Scrap #AUKUS ? "The US has the power to switch off the UK’s nuclear subs – a big problem as Donald Trump becomes an unreliable partner" theconversation.com/the-us-has-t...

More than 170 journalists killed in Gaza in the last 538 days of conflict Israel continues to break international laws that protects humanitarian workers and journalists during armed conflict Yet another #WarCrime by Israel, and the US who is continuing to provide arms for the #genocide

From @johnmenadue.com: "Our media keeps telling us of the importance of AUKUS for the defence of Australia. But AUKUS is not for the defence of Australia; it is to join with the US to confront the Chinese on their coast in the South China Sea." johnmenadue.com/the-aukus-ch...

Fantastic move from Labor Against War ✌️ People say 'Oh we can't scrap #AUKUS because we have already spent so much'. Well that is a good reason to scrap it before we throw more money away. Money we need for Cost of Living, Housing, Climate, bring Jobseeker to the poverty line. Vote Peace Not War

AUKUS is looking more and more like a failure. @keanebernard.bsky.social asks why the unpopular deal isn't front and centre in the coming election campaign.

There's a bipartisan conspiracy of silence on AUKUS — and it flies in the face of democracy

Do we really want to be tied to a country supplying arms to Israel to Commit Genocide? A country that refused the UN International Criminal Court (ICC) order to arrest Netanyahu over War Crimes? Instead they gave him a standing ovation. Elections Matter - Cancel #AUKUS Vote Peace Not War

Your rights are being eroded so Israel can commit genocide without criticism  - The Shot
Across the Western world, criticising Israel's genocide in Palestine is being stamped down. News laws and a culture of fear make it hard.

War is a huge driver of climate heating. The emissions, the pollution, the expenditure, taking resources away from Climate Action, destruction of ecosystems, destruction of food systems. Time to stop fighting over power and land and work together to save the planet. We share one atmosphere

The Stena Immaculate has crashed off the coast of Hull. The ship was carrying jet fuel for the US Airforce. The crash has caused a “massive fireball” which is still burning now, over 29 hours later, and jet-fuel a carcinogen more flammable than diesel to pour into the sea. #NorthSea #USMilitary

Another consequence of the flawed AUKUS deal is that Australia is already spending money getting Australia ready for a nuclear industry. Considering #NuclearPower Universities with #Nuclear studies Do you want #NuclearWaste in your neighbourhood? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou3f...

The AUKUS deal makes us even more dependent upon the 🇺🇸US alliance. There was no public debate about this decision and very little consideration by Labor about whether it was wise to adopt the Liberal deal. Call for an independent and transparent review. Vote Peace not War #aukus #election25

Both major parties support massive military spending - they have already committed $368B+ over 30yrs for nuclear subs But the Climate Crisis is the greatest threat and it is already here! Fires, Cyclones, Floods, Heatwaves... Vote for Peace Not War #climatecrisis #election2025 #AUKUS #usalliance

Mike Pezzullo (sacked for failing to safeguard sensitive Govt info) says Pine Gap is more important than our trade interests & Aussie jobs. He confuses means with ends. For too long our head spooks have kowtowed to Washington, putting the US ahead of Australia. #auspol

We need to use this moment to pivot away from a relationship that no longer serves Australia. Based on shared conflict from long ago but not on shared values today is not a foundation to move forward with
