Cut Ties With The US War Machine Green Left

9:00am to 11:00am Sunday 22 February

Churchill Park Lookout Rockingham Beach Rd Rockingham WA 6168 Australia

Join us to mark World Beyond War’s 2026 ‘Close US Bases’ global weekend of action AND take part in the national action Calling on our government to ‘Cancel AUKUS and the Force Posture Agreement (FPA) with the US’.

Apart from Pine Gap in the NT, the US has joint access to Kojarena and Harold Holt Naval Communications Bases in WA.

Under the FPA it also has open access to many northern airfields (including Learmonth and Derby in northern WA), military barracks and here on our doorstep, HMAS Stirling at Garden Island, Rockingham.

US nuclear powered submarines are due to start rotating through Stirling as of 2027. There is no end date – if the US is unable to provide the ‘stop gap’ US Virginia Class nuclear powered subs in the 2030’s it’s likely the rotations will just continue - in part ensuring Stirling as an ongoing US base.

Australia needs to Cut ties with the US war machine and the authoritarian and dangerous Trump and assert its defence sovereignty Now!

There will be a support vehicle (carrying water) tracking the march from Val St Jetty.

Please bring hats, sunscreen and water.

And importantly Your Voices and empty hands to carry flags, banners and signs.

Sign the Call to Cancel AUKUS and the FPA .

Thank you for maintaining your rage about universal human rights abuse. Your voice for refugee rights has been a blow torch on mandatory indefinite detention of innocent men women and children, a wake up call about racism, discrimination and state sponsored torture. Long may you live.

In a desperately unequal world, with permanent wars and a climate emergency, everyone has to pick a side.

Green Left ’s goal is to expose the lies and hypocrisy of the billionaire class and their media and help build the movements organising to resist them — here and overseas. By mobilising people power, we can win a democratic, environmentally and socially just future.
