Pine Gap Protest Media Alert
Groups from all around Australia will be converging on the United States war-fighting and spy base Pine Gap (near Alice Springs) over the weekend of October 5 - 7 this year.
The main aim of the demonstration will be to expose the use of Pine Gap in US military aggression. At the moment, satellites monitored by Pine Gap are preparing the target logs for the US military to use in an attack on Iraq. Therefore, even as the Australian parliament debates our participation in a potential war with Iraq, Australia is already involved through the use of the Pine Gap facilities.
