Hawke or Keating govts would not have engaged in AUKUS. “Times have changed” says Gareth Evans.
How true! Whitlam, Hawke and Keating would never have sacrificed our sovereignty and security to the US!
Doug Cameron
The vested interests and China hawks are out in force. Defending AUKUS, attacking those who stand in the way of militarism, massive corporate and individual profit at the expense of sovereignty and common sense. Watch out for the govt funded propaganda campaign!
Bit rich from Pat Conroy to be calling for “de-escalation” when Labor has not had the courage to call out out the war crimes, genocide, apartheid. ethnic cleansing and atrocities carried out by Trump and Netanyahu.
Placating the madness and hegemony makes escalation, inevitable
Gareth Evans calmly and forensically destroying the technical, political and military arguments from Marles, et al in support of AUKUS.
Takes head on the rubbish that opponents are engaging in “appeasement”.
Vested interests will be apoplectic as the gravy train is challenged.
Conroy’s desperation has resulted in false claims that the Australia Institute is “running” the public inquiry.
I have been closely involved in establishing the inquiry. The inquiry is coordinated by a diverse group with the Australian Peace and Security Forum the lead agency.
