Who we are
IPAN is a grassroots network of organisations around Australia – community, faith and peace groups, trade unions – and concerned individuals aiming to build public dialogue and pressure for change to a truly independent foreign policy for Australia – one in which our government plays a positive role in solving international conflicts peacefully.
IPAN Vision
An independent and peaceful Australia.
IPAN Patrons
Emeritus Professor Ian Lowe AO and Kellie Tranter, Lawyer & Human Rights Activist
IPAN Mission
Advocate for an independent and peaceful Australia, free of foreign military bases, and free of interventions by other foreign Governments, corporations, or vested interests, that would diminish Australia’s sovereignty; with its independence safeguarded by a self-defence force restricted to territorial defence. Promote an independent, peaceful, just, democratic and sustainable Australia, which makes a positive contribution to achieving regional and global peace.
Acknowledgement
We acknowledge the traditional custodians, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and respect their continuing culture. We acknowledge their country was violently seized 230 years ago, and affirm that genuine independence of Australia cannot be achieved without a just and sovereign Treaty with the Indigenous people of this land.
