The U.S. Biden government with the support of both Democrats and the Republicans is preparing for war against China and has set up Aukus, a trilateral “security” pact between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
The unions and community have had a development plan for renewable energy projects employing thousands of workers and this Nuke base would destroy this initiative.
On May 6, 2023, there will be a rally at the Port Kembla organized by the trades council with the support of the MUA and community . There will be a workers’ community march to the NSW city of Port Kembla to oppose its use as a base for a future submarine fleet.
“The battle for Port Kembla has begun,” said Arthur Rorris, the secretary of the South Coast Labour Council, a longstanding Labor member and one of the organizers of the annual march.”
Around the world, we must support our Brothers, Sisters, and Siblings at the Port of Kembla.
Workers and people around the world need to organize against the militarization of Asia need to unite against this new U.S. nuclear base in Australia and the reactionary AUKUS agreement.
The U.S. and the UK, with Japan and Australia, are working double time to surround China a provoke another war in Asia.
While millions of U.S. people have no healthcare, face homelessness and hunger the U.S. and it’s military-industrial complex is pushing Australia and the world to prepare for world war.
We support worldwide demonstrations against this new proposed NUKE base in Port Kembla, which the Australian Labor Party leadership along with Biden administration, Democrats and Republicans are pushing toward a new world war and only workers and the people can stop this new U.S. base and a world war.

Federation opposes AUKUS and joins the growing chorus of concern that the AUKUS security pact Australia signed with the U.S.A and the UK compromises the pursuit of an independent foreign policy and has the potential to drag Australia once again into foreign conflict and war.”
“A spokesman for the Electrical Trades Union confirmed his union also opposed the deal: “While the ETU respects the federal government’s obligation to strike security agreements that protect our national interest, electricians and engineers have a deep and long-standing health and safety concerns about nuclear technology and remain opposed to its use in Australia.”
“The AUKUS submarines will be powered by nuclear technology, which betrays Australia’s non-nuclear policy and opens doors to a dangerous and unnecessary domestic nuclear power industry, weapons proliferation and regional arms race.
The ETU is strongly against the deployment of nuclear power in Australia because of the risks associated with the mining and extraction of uranium, the huge build costs, the terrible and deadly consequences to environmental and human health when incidents occur and its potential to take us down the path of devastating weaponry.”
