Event description
The United States and China are contesting for great power supremacy. Australia depends on the United States for security; and on China for our economic prosperity, with China accounting for a third of all our exports. How should Australia best navigate this challenge? In recent years there are some who suggest that China is our greatest military threat. Our current Defence Strategy amplifies this, most obviously through the acquisition of AUKUS nuclear powered submarines and long range missiles.
In this Webinar, highly respected international security analyst Sam Roggeveen, author of the much acclaimed book “The Echidna Strategy”, will share his assessment of China’s and Australia’s search for peace and security in our region. Dr Jocelyn Chey, inaugural Executive Director of the Australia-China Council, former senior diplomat at the Australian Embassy in Beijing, and now Adjunct Professor at the Institute for Chinese Arts and Culture at the University of Western Sydney will offer her approach for Australia to live in peace and security with China.

Reflections of fighting for a dying world.
Lil has been organising for around eight years across climate, anti-war, abolitionist and anti-colonial movements. Lil is an advocate for direct action and diversity of tactics and credits Front Line Action on Coal for training her up when she was young, headstrong, and presumably annoying. More recently she has organised against weapons industry with Wage Peace, helping to deliver Disrupt Land Forces. When Lil is not stuffing potatoes into the exhaust pipes of the machine she enjoys crocheting and growing vegetables.
