Socialist Equality Party (SEP) and International Youth and Students for Social Equality speakers addressed students at universities in Melbourne, Sydney and Newcastle last Monday, the centenary of the outbreak of World War I and the danger of a new military conflagration.

This video features extracts of SEP national secretary Nick Beams addressing the speak-out at Sydney’s University of New South Wales (UNSW), along with comments from students at UNSW and Melbourne’s Victoria University. The students voice their concerns about rising militarism, the Israeli slaughter in the Gaza Strip and the escalating confrontation with Russia over Ukraine.
