Dear Signers,

I am pleased to let you know that In the Australian Senate today I tabled this petition and supported its calls for Australia to withdraw from AUKUS, end the development of nuclear submarines and put a stop to Australia’s integration with the US military.

With the support of over 26,000 of you we have taken a great step in showing the parliament that we will not help the United States destabilise our region and nuclearise our submarine fleet in the process.

Australia is at a vital decision making point. We are asking ourselves some of the most important questions we can as a nation about how we interact with our neighbours and the world at large.

The world is facing an unprecedented climate crisis and rapidly expanding wealth inequality. The solutions to these things will take global cooperation. The AUKUS pact undermines all this because we can’t negotiate with one hand and point a gun with the other.

I wish I could tell you that the tabling of this petition would be the end of it and the government will see the support for a more peaceful and independent foregin policy and course correct. The reality is sadly they probably won’t.

The work of the future we want to create goes on. We need to get active in our own communities and show people how a government decision on submarine acquisition will actually have tangible effects on their lives.

This is an issue I am so passionate about and will continue to work on in the coming months and years until AUKUS is stopped. If you want to stay up to date on what I’m doing please sign up here https://greens.org.au/campaigns/no-nuclear-subs.
