Labor Against War
Labor Against War is a political group within the Australian Labor Party.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
It was established in 2023 as a movement organised in opposition to the AUKUS security pact. It describes itself as a "grassroots network of labor members and unionists opposed to Australia being dragged into another US-led war".[7]
The convenor of the group is Marcus Strom, a unionist and former media advisor to Ed Husic.[8][2]
The group has attempted to organise branches of the Labor Party in passing resolutions condemning AUKUS and the proposed nuclear submarine program. It has been associated with party-conference motions that have opposed the alliance.[9]
