Why

On 21st February we will be protesting at the Edinburgh Air Force Base. Global arms dealers have established themselves inside the Base, under the protection of the Australian Defence Force. Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems, Raytheon, Airbus and others operate weapons programs.

One example is the Northrop Grumman MQ-4C Triton UAV, a massive, high altitude spy drone. Australia has a fleet of these drones based at Tindal Air Base in the NT. Australia has spent hundreds of millions of $s to build the facility at Tindal. 

The drones will be remote-controlled from Edinburgh base in SA and fly 24 hour long spy missions over a vast area of east Asia. It is highly likely that this surveillance data will be distributed via Pine Gap.

We want the Americanisation of our armed forced to end. It is an escalation towards war, not defence.

Meet 11am, car park at McDonald's, Elizabeth Train Station. We will car pool from there. come by train and get a lift to the site.
