Gwen’s research begins here in WA - with the clearing of Jarrah forests, the approval of a submarine base seeded with nuclear waste, and data centres marketed as strategic assets competing for water a city can't spare. Gwen argues these issues are deeply connected to AUKUS, the security partnership between Australia, the UK and the USA, extending far beyond nuclear submarines into AI, cyber technologies, critical minerals and industrial expansion urgency.
