Re-thinking peace, security, and a sovereignty based on friendship and unity

Friday, 19 August 2022 - 10:00am to 10:30am

As counter to the one-eyed, drumming up of war in the mainstream media, Jennifer and Jacques talk about peace. What would peace look like? What would it take? They talk about a common security where people have jobs and wages they can live on, social protections, and a fair sharing of our common wealth. Jacques and Jennifer also also look at 'sovereignty' - moving from territorial notions used to justify war, to a new definition from the Uluru Statement that is unifying and life-enhancing.
