Why hundreds are protesting at the secretive Pine Gap base | ABC NEWS

Hundreds of protesters have gathered outside the joint Australia-US defence facility at Pine Gap near Alice Springs. Protest organiser Nathalie Farah says the demonstration focuses on two key issues: greater transparency about Pine Gap's role in US intelligence, and longstanding calls from Arrernte Traditional Owners for access to culturally significant sites and compensation.
The Department of Defence says that, in line with longstanding government practice, it does not comment on intelligence matters or on Pine Gap's operations.
