Expanse podcast series explores Pine Gap and America's Spies in the Outback

ABC  

Spies in the Outback is the third series of the Expanse podcast. "Pine Gap was certainly one of those ground sites that was collecting information on weapon systems, where were the weapons located," David says. "Pine Gap became extremely important in the age of drone warfare in helping to find the targets," Richard Tanter, Pine Gap expert from Melbourne University, says. "Pine Gap became critical in feeding … that potential target information into what was called the White House's kill chain decision making and is still critical for that today." "In fact, Pine Gap has become more important than ever to American military activities, so nuclear risk, I think, is actually elevated," he says.
