A Red Centre spy base – run by the Australian and US governments – became the site of a “vigil” the day the USA celebrated its independence.
About 60 people gathered on Hatt Rd – which leads into Pine Gap Joint Defence Facility, located south of Alice Springs – Friday morning as part of the vigil.
The event was organised by Mpartwe for Falastin, and one of the organisers, Jorgen Assmussen Doyle said, the event was calling for Pine Gap to be shut.
In June, after the US bombed Iran, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese deflected the question when asked if Pine Gap was involved in the US strike.
