This episode examines how war and militarism shape workers’ lives and labour struggles: DP World’s AI automation push threatens over 1,000 skilled port jobs while shifting control of critical supply‑chain infrastructure offshore; Australia’s fuel insecurity—hollowed refineries and a depleted tanker fleet—exposes us to global choke points and the fallout of foreign military campaigns; Victoria’s education strike highlights domestic austerity and the costs borne by public services. Feature: a translated excerpt from USB’s webinar “War on Women: The Price of Rearmament,” linking rearmament, gendered harms and union resistance.
