Port Kembla March Against The Nuclear Base

Photographs from Saturday’s historic May Day march down the streets of Port Kembla, where there are possible plans to build a nuclear submarine base as part of the AUKUS military pact.

Speakers warned the federal Labor government that the local community would vigorously campaign against any move to build a submarine base at Port Kembla, after reports emerged that the working-class industrial town had been identified by defence planners as the favoured site.

The protest was organised by trade unions, left-wing political groups, anti-war activists, environmentalists and First Nations representatives. Over 1,000 people attended the rally.
