As Australia deepens its military alignment with the US, the Labor Government continues to enable and remain complicit in devastating conflicts, including the ongoing suffering in Palestine and Lebanon. At a time when Australians are struggling to make ends meet the Government wants to spend $375 billion on submarines we may never even see, AUKUS represents a different set of priorities.
