Troops out of Iraq, Afghanistan
Stop Global warming: Renewables not uranium & coal
Defend workers' rights: Scrap WorkChoices

US President George W. Bush will be in Sydney in September 2007. He will be joining John Howard and other 21 world leaders at a major meeting of the Asia Pacific forum on Economic Cooperation (APEC).

Their agenda will be to further corporate globalisation as the expense of the livelihoods of workers and small farmers. Wars around the globe, their “anti-terrorism” agenda, terrorism, lifting trade restrictions and climate change will be high on their agenda.

We can be sure that these leaders will not come up with solutions.

While in power, Bush and Howard have presided over a new world disorder. Both have involved their countries in an unpopular occupation in Iraq
which has resulted in the deaths of well over 650,000 Iraqis and thousands of US and British troops, as well as cost over $1 billion per week to maintain. If the US' occupation of Afghanistan is anything to go by, so long as foreign troops stay, Iraq can look forward to years of impoverishment and devastation.

Hyping up the rhetoric of the “war on terror”, Bush and Howard have ignored the far greater threat to humanity posed by climate change. Both have refused to provide support and leadership for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and renewable energy, preferring to promote the nuclear industry.

While trying to convince us that removing our basic civil liberties and legalising torture are the best ways make us secure, Bush and Howard have systematically removed our basic working rights. They have shifted the balance in favour of employers making it harder for employees to have the basic pay and conditions needed to support themselves and their families.

This world view represented by George Bush and John Howard is as destructive as it is unsustainable.
