Northern Terr...PINE GAP CHRISTIAN ACTIVISTS CHARGED UNDER PREVIOUSLY UNUSED LAW.<br />
<br />
Northern Territory chief prosecutor Paul Usher worked overtime to give 4 charged with breaking into top secret Pine Gap base near Alice Springs an unexpected Easter present. <br />
<br />
On Easter Saturday Mr Usher emailed the four after keeping them in suspense for four months. He chose this day to let them know that Attorney General Phillip Rhodic had decided to charge them under the never before used 1952 Defence Special Undertakings Act. This law carries a penalty of seven years jail for merely trespassing on Pine Gap land, as well as 2 years jail for taking photos. The members of the group are already charged with a number of more usual charges (also carrying possible jail terms) under the Crimes Act.<br />
<br />
The four go to court in Alice Springs on Wednesday to face a committal hearing on all the charges. <br />
The charges all arise from the incident last December when a group of six people calling themselves Christians Against All Terrorism notified the Defence minister of their desire to inspect the Pine Gap base for terrorist activity as they believed it was being used to provide targeting information for terrorist bombing in Iraq. When the minister refused they announced their intention to inspect he base anyhow. Despite the warning and the posting of extra security at one of the most sensitive spy bases in the world, two members of the group managed to enter the base and climb on the roof of a building and take photos before being found. An hour later, in broad daylight two other group members walked through the outer restricted area right up to the high security fence and one member started cutting through it before being stopped by the security.<br />
<br />
Group member Donna Mulhearn said, "The government and military are obviously highly embarrassed by the ability of a small group of unarmed, untrained, Christian pacifists to so easily break their security after telling them we were coming. No one can claim the decision to try to punish us severely is not a political decision coming as it does from Phillip Ruddick and not the Public Prosecutor. " "It is quite amazing and perhaps appropriate that they chose the Easter Weekend to make the decision." Donna said. "This is the time all Christians remember the crucifixion and resurrection of the Prince of Peace. We were arrested for peacemaking. We were trying to expose the criminal role of Pine Gap in the slaughter of hundreds of thousands innocent people."<br />
