The Wire

The Alice Springs trial of four people accused of illegally entering the Pine Gap Joint Defence Facility in December 2005 has caused debate on whether such facilities should exist on Australian soil. Advocate for the removal of the station, Dr Helen Caldicott, who is also President of the Nuclear Policy Research Institute, will appear at a public meeting in Alice Springs this evening to present her opposition to Pine Gap. Earlier today she spoke to the Wire about what she plans to say this evening.
