Who are We?

This site is maintained by OzPeace Pty. Ltd.

OzPeace is a private research and logistics company engaged in providing services to individuals and community organisations relating to the Australian defence industry.

Our origins were as a group of like minded friends who were all involved in organising the campaign against AIDEX 89 & 91 in Canberra, many of whom were members of the Renegade Activists' Action Force, and our mission and priorities have not changed.

Since we first became politically active in the 70s & 80s the world has changed substantially. First and foremost in the way corporate entities have been given greater rights than human beings. While we resisted this move for a long time, it became painfully apparent to us that our work in opposing the increasing militarisation of Australian industry and society at large would be enhanced by speaking in the language of the 21st century. 

The decision to establish as a private company in 2008 was not taken in a rush for profit but as good corporate citizens wishing to continue to engage, at all levels, in the public debates on the future peace and security of our country, the Asia Pacific region and the world. 

In organising against the Asia Pacific Defence & Security Exhibition, OzPeace is working on behalf of concerned individuals.

We are also working very closely with other peace, religious and social justice organisations around the country determined that such blatant displays of the machineries of death and destruction do not go uncontested.
