Peace not War

We live in dangerous times. With war not peace in the ascendancy, we appear to be heading. Are we heading for WW3 on two fronts? This frightening possibility could become a nuclear conflagration.

The military, political, and economic grip of the US has Australia locked into US foreign policy and any future war. This grip is exemplified externally by the AUKUS security Pact and internally by the Force Posture Agreement. Both bring with them loss of sovereignty, a huge financial spending on unnecessary militarization, desecration and pollution of the lands of the First Nations peoples and the contamination of the continent with toxic nuclear waste.

This is the political environment in which the IPAN conference is taking place. It is an environment which challenges us all to build a movement that turns away from war towards an independent and peace-loving Australia.

We will be hosting a range of expert Australian and international speakers Topics for the conference presentations and discussions:

AUKUS – Alternatives to   $386   billion, dangers of   nuclear              waste, and implications for Australian Policy

Lessons from Gaza

Developing regional peace initiatives in the Asia Pacific Impacts of war on the environment and indigenous rights Countering threats of nuclear war

Campaigning for a more independent and genuine defence policy for Australia

Be part of the movement towards building an Australia that is independent, sustainable, and promotes peace
