DRINKS FOR HUMANITY- Geelong’s Weapons Industry

September 1 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Several Geelong businesses are making parts for the F-35 Fighter Jets which Israel is using to bomb Gaza right now. Weapons manufacturing is ramping up near Avalon Airport where Israel’s largest private weapons company Elbit has been awarded a $917 million contract by the Australian government. The City of Greater Geelong, Vic & Federal governments are pouring money into this death industry in Geelong instead of into socially useful manufacturing. Sip on an ale at this cosy & welcoming event whilst you listen to local & expert speakers explain further & who will answer any questions you have. Join us for a late afternoon of robust conversation, camaraderie, and a chance to connect with like-minded individuals. At Drinks for Humanity, we delve into pressing global issues while enjoying good company and an ale. Come prepared to engage in thoughtful dialogue and gain insights from others on this issue.
This is a free event, however bookings are essential:
