Anti-AUKUS protesters rallied against Australia’s military involvement with the United States in the Middle East outside the US Chamber of Commerce in Magan-djin/Brisbane on July 4.

Queensland Premier David Crisafulli addressed the luncheon on US Independence Day.

The protesters highlighted the government’s complicity in genocide in Gaza and the fact it has openly supported the US and Israeli bombing of Iran.

They demanded an end to the AUKUS agreement and our involvement in attacks on Gaza and Iran.
