Address from the General Secretary

We are excited to introduce the hard copy version of the ACP’s central organ: Militant Monthly. It was always our intention to produce such a publication to increase the availability of our analysis to our readers. It is interesting to note that, even as more and more people access news and entertainment on mobile devices, there is still an important role for print media. This hard copy magazine will increase the volume of news and views from the standpoint of the ACP, allowing for a greater variety of material on a new platform.

The business of war: how capitalism makes a killing

Policy and media attention over the last decade clearly show that the government expects war with China. The recent AUKUS submarine deal is just a drop in the bucket as imperialist nations across the world prepare for war. Military budgets are constantly expanding with US military spending for 2023 standing at $842 billion and China’s own military budget doubling in the last ten years. Of course, America’s allies, such as the UK and Australia, have also joined the arms race. Imperialist nations are either going to war or preparing for war in order to protect market interests, exploit more resources or to maintain/expand their influence in certain regions.

Red Report Back - Week Ending 26/03/2023

In this Red Report Back

Across the country on the weekend of the 25th and 26th of March, the Australian Communist Party launched its national Housing Campaign. Events were held in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide to launch the event, with dozens of comrades and supporters in attendance to support us as we move to tackle the housing crisis for the working class.

The Albanese Government has renewed $67.5 million in funding for homelessness services’ wage support, which will go towards assisting the more than 120,000 Australians that are currently homeless. After months of doubt about the impacts of cuts, this measure will provide temporary relief to the immense pressure homelessness services are facing with the intensification of the housing crisis.

Over the last few weeks, a menacing trend has reared its head publicly at events across Australia in the form of public fascist attacks on the trans community. As per usual, fascist groups in Australia have once again jumped onto a trending issue in an attempt to spread their hatred and coax others into joining their forces.

Prime Minister Albanese has announced the proposed question for the referendum that would enable an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, along with the draft constitutional amendment that would make it law. The wording of the question is as follows:

“A Proposed Law: to alter the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. Do you want this proposed alteration?”

The IPCC has recently released its Sixth Assessment Report, warning that the planet is heading for catastrophic warming of over 2 degrees celsius and could by in excess of 3 degrees celsius if governments continue on their path of inaction. We must recognise that it is the working class who are most vulnerable to these climate impacts, and heed the warnings of this report that this is our ‘last chance decade’.

Across New South Wales, there has been an impressive streak of industrial action by frontline emergency workers as the Minns Labor Government takes over the reigns from twelve years of Coalition power.
