Pro-Palestinian demonstrators have blocked access to a joint US-Australian defence facility in the Northern Territory, calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The small group of protesters gathered on Hatt Road near Pine Gap, the military intelligence base outside Alice Springs, from dawn until just before 10am on Friday.
One of the activists, who asked to be referred to only as Nic, said the group was there in the hope of disrupting military intelligence during the conflict in the Middle East. The group, which included members of the Alice Springs Jewish and Indigenous communities, wanted to show solidarity with the Palestinian people, Nic said. “The Australian government needs to stand up and call on the Israeli government to stop bombing civilians in Gaza,” she told AAP after the protest.
