IPAN urgers all who have signed this petition to get behind the Inquiry and make a submission https://aukuspublicinquiry.com/

With Canberra insisting that no official inquiry be conducted into AUKUS, it has fallen to those keen on a public inquiry to take up the mantle. The crowd-founded AUKUS Public Inquiry, coordinated by the Australian Peace and Security Forum (APSF), will be led by a number of commissioners, spearheaded by Peter Garrett, former federal environment minister and front man for Midnight Oil. Former MPs, retired military and naval officers (these include former Australian Defence Force chief Chris Barrie), strategists and academics, human rights lawyers and union leaders promise to feature in this inquiry.
