Greens spokesperson for foreign affairs, peace and nuclear disarmament, David Shoebridge, speaks to Green Left's Suzanne James.

They discuss the nuclear and geopolitical implications of Australia's support of the recent attacks against Iran by Israel and the US, Australia's US alliance and ongoing support of Israel's genocide in Gaza, as well as the role in these conflicts of the joint US / Australian spy facility at Pine Gap near Alice Springs.

It also includes an AUKUS update, Albanese's intended new defence agreement with the European Union and supporting the renewed anti-war protest movement as dissent against Israel and the increasingly toxic Australia / US alliance grows.

We acknowledge that this was produced on stolen Aboriginal land. We express solidarity with ongoing struggles for justice for First Nations people and pay our respects to Elders past and present.
