Australia drops the ball on international justice - and in the process we lose our moral standing

Friday, 23 August 2024 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Jacques talks about the ways that Australia continues to drop the ball on international justice, while defaulting to the (US) 'might is right' principle, and thus gradually losing its moral standing in the eyes of the rest of the world. It is a shameful contrast to our history of supporting international rules that all are expected to abide by, and forums of justice where errant nations are called to account. And we continue to cede the non-ceded Aboriginal lands to growing establishments of American weaponry and military bases.
