Marcus Strom, a unionist and former media advisor to Ed Husic, is the convenor Labor Against War - a political group within the Australian Labor Party organised in opposition to the AUKUS security pact.

Marcus speaks with guest host Nick Feik in the aftermath of the Labor National Conference to unpack the ongoing AUKUS debate, Labor’s stance on Israel, why Australian politics hasn’t seen the same anti-zionist shift as other countries, and the wider lack of political expression within the party.

“I think Palestine, the Iran war [and] AUKUS are all tied into the same radical subservience that Australia has towards US imperialism.”
