A group of determined activists, including elders as old as 72, are walking 400 kilometers from Port Augusta to Port Adelaide as the “Peace Walkers,” protesting Australia’s AUKUS nuclear submarine deal. They’re challenging the government’s push for militarization and nuclear infrastructure, highlighting the irony of spending billions on defense while Australians face soaring living costs. Supported by a convoy and grassroots groups, they’re calling attention to environmental and social risks — especially from First Nations voices — as the government celebrates the project as a $30 billion economic boom creating tens of thousands of jobs. With an independent inquiry underway, this walk is a powerful, foot-powered counterpoint to the nation’s shifting priorities.
