Interviews and Discussion

Recording of Green Left public forum "Behind the Russian attack on Ukraine" which took place on Thursday March 3 featuring political economist William Briggs and Socialist Alliance National co-convenor Sam Wainwright.

The forum responded to Russia's millitary intervention and why Russia must immediately withdraw its millitary from Ukraine but also pointed out how this conflict cannot be understood outside the relentless drive by the United States and its Western allies to expand NATO up to Russia's border and encircle it millitarily. You can view a recording of the forum here.

Interview with David Linden AEU member and long-time teacher about the proposed agreement being put forward by the AEU (Australian Education Union) and why it fails to address the issues affecting teachers and why members of the AEU should vote "No" to the agreement and argue for a alternative approach. You can listen to the individual interview here.
