Resources for the Militarisation of the Hunter Region
The Hunter Region will play a significant part in the expansion of Australia's production of arms and armaments. All levels of Government, including Port Stephens and Newcastle Councils, along with the University of Newcastle, are investing heavily in and facilitating the militarisation of our industries and our education. The Hunter is also listed as a site for dumping the nuclear waste of our AUKUS partners.
This is not the vision we need or want. At a time when we must rapidly transition to a low carbon economy, when the inalienability of international humanitarian law is seriously undermined, and when our communities call for disengagement from the dangerous US empire, we need to organise and mobilise to create an alternative future.
Below are some resources to help you gain a greater understanding of how this is unfolding in the Hunter Region.
