Retired Army Major Cameron Leckie served 24 years in the Australian Army, including deployments to East Timor and Sumatra. He is currently a PhD candidate, and recently addressed the Independent and Peaceful Australia Network's national conference in Adelaide,

Cameron joins guest host Nick Feik to discuss the permanent stationing of US military weapons in Melbourne and at the Bandiana military base in rural Victoria; the future of Australia’s military relationship with the US; and the interconnectedness of current global conflicts.

“One of the concerns is when you give unimpeded access to a country which is a nuclear power, has used nuclear weapons in the past, and is belligerent – I would be shocked if there have not at some point in the past been nuclear weapons on Australian sovereign territory, or that occurs in the future.”
