Summary

More than 1,000 anti-war protesters gathered in Perth on October 6, 2026, to demonstrate against the Land Forces 2026 International Land Defence Exposition and related military and defence policies. The protest, organized by the WA Anti-War Collective and over 35 organizations, began at Yagan Square and marched to Elizabeth Quay near the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre, where the expo was being held. Protesters opposed weapons manufacturing and exports, military spending, and Australia's involvement in AUKUS, with some also highlighting environmental concerns and Palestine solidarity. The demonstration featured a traditional smoking ceremony, flash mob, and anti-war chants and signs. Reports indicate the protest proceeded peacefully without incident, though police maintained a heavy presence with special powers granted for the event. The expo itself, Australia's largest land defence industry exhibition, ran from October 6-8 and featured nearly 1,000 exhibitors from multiple nations.
