From the Frontier Wars to police in communities to the biggest weapons ever made.
Militarism started in this continent when the British invaded over two hundred years ago, and it continues to this day.
Boe Spearim, Aunty Sue Coleman-Haseldine, and Uncle Ned Hargreaves tell their stories of struggles that are vital for all of us.
Produced and presented by Zelda Grimshaw and the team at Wage Peace
