Nioa Munitions: An excess of public money to fund police and the gun lobby

How Weapons companies launder their reputations

After being called out by the peace movement the Smith Family has refused further funding from the weapons industry. In the middle of Pandemic 2020 it came to our attention that BAE Systems, a transnational weapons corporation, was funding the children’s charity The Smith Family: $100,000 for supposed ‘STEM’ education. We call it ‘Reputation Laundering’.… [Read more] WE WON! Smith Family drops BAE sponsorship

Budget a setback for Australia and the region

A weapons led recovery

Frydenberg’s 2020-21 budget confirms a profligate spend on Australia’s military capabilities that is unjustifiable from every view point: strategic, economic, environmental and social. The addition of a further $3 billion to the already allocated $42.2billion for 2020-21 will see Australia acquire a military capability grossly disproportionate to its defence needs. The planned capability will work… [Read more] Budget a setback for Australia and the region
