Australian activists: NO war on China and No to the QUAD!

 

 


Sydney Anti-AUKUS Coalition


Health care NOT Warfare! 

 
What a disgrace the budget for 2023 is. Billions of dollars will be directed towards war. Towards building weapons. No funds towards social support that’s needed to lift people out of the cost of living crisis. No funds towards building social housing. No new funding for any new rail projects or to expand public transport. 

Politicians however will receive an additional -$159 million over the next four years for electoral purposes. 

It is clear that the government is only interested in lining their pockets and compromising the safety of ordinary people so that they can continue to profit off war. But we will not stand for this.

NSW Teachers Federation opposes the AUKUS pact: 

"While governments appear ever ready to commit huge amounts of public revenue on military expenditure there remains a serious under funding of public pre-schools, public schools, TAFE and higher education, and other areas of the public sector. A massive transference of public wealth to private armament manufacturers will constrain public expenditure in all government portfolios for decades to come."
