Dozens of people joined a protest outside the Hilton Hotel where Defence Minister Peter Dutton addressed an American Chamber of Commerce luncheon to give an “inside look at Australia’s defense posture amidst rising global tensions and dynamic activity in Europe and Asia”.
Activists from a range of anti-war, social justice and socialist groups chanted and gave Dutton the welcome he deserved.
