Petition: Launch a Parliamentary Inquiry into AUKUS

AUKUS Security Pact

Australia has an opportunity to get out of the AUKUS security pact. We should take it. 

The Trump Administration has announced a review of AUKUS, joining the UK in reviewing the joint security pact. Australia now has a real chance to escape this disastrous deal, which has not been properly scrutinised by the Australian Parliament.

AUKUS ties us ever closer to an increasingly volatile and aggressive America.

We ask the Albanese Government to prioritise Australia’s interests and security, and to join the UK and the US Governments in undertaking an independent parliamentary inquiry into the AUKUS security pact.

Condemnation of Israel’s genocidal actions in Gaza is continuing to grow both in Australia and around the world.

On 7 May 2025, more than 20 independent experts linked to the UN’s Human Rights Council said that the world faced a “stark decision” to “remain passive and witness the slaughter of innocents or take part in crafting a just resolution”.

More recently on the 9 May 2025, over 700 members of Australia’s legal profession signed a letter expressing their “profound concerns about the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza” and urged the Australian government “to do everything it can to end the hostilities and protect innocent civilians from further death, destruction, famine and plausible genocide.”  Continue reading Australia’s legal profession calls on Australian Government to implement 10 urgent actions to help end Israel’s genocide in Gaza →
