Arms industry influence: from the National Press Club to national policy.

Saturday, 8 November 2025 - 10:00am to 10:30am
Press vests at Naarm rally for Palestine representing the more that 245 journalists in Gaza that Israel has murdered.

In this program we spoke with Michelle Fahy, an independent researcher investigating links between the weapons industry and Australian Government about her latest report on arms companies providing almost a quarter of the National Press Club's sponsorship. We also catch up with Australian Director of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons Gem Romuld to bring an update on their work to get Australia to sign on the the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and the rising threats to global security posed by nuclear brinkmanship and the AUKUS partnership.
