Labor Against War

Labor Against War is the name of a political group within the Australian Labor Party.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

It was started in 2023 as a grassroots movement organised against 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]
