Revealed: the room inside Pine Gap no Australian could enter, bar one
An old US diplomatic cable uncovered by Privacy International has confirmed the existence of a secret room at America’s Pine Gap spy base that Australians were not allowed to enter - except for one time when Bill Hayden had a look.
It calls into question a claim made at the time in March, 1985, by then defence minister Kim Beazley, who said the government was fully aware of everything that takes place at Pine Gap, near Alice Springs in the Northern Territory.
Ball had written in 1984 that Pine Gap was administered by the CIA and "originally established as part of Project Rhyolite", which involved a satellite "sucking up like a vacuum cleaner a wide spectrum of Soviet and Chinese military communications" including telephone calls as well as radar and other signals associated with missile launches.
