David McBride, a retired Major and former legal officer in the Australian Army, discusses his actions of leaking information to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) that ultimately led to the exposure of alleged war crimes committed by Australian soldiers in Afghanistan. David highlights the political manipulation of the war narrative and emphasises the need for clear rules of engagement. David became disillusioned with the Australian military's handling of war crimes and the seeming politicisation of the war in Afghanistan. He observed a lack of proper investigations into war crimes and a focus on appearances rather than effectiveness. McBride suspected that the Australian government was trying to cover up war crimes to maintain their alliance with the US. David decided to take action and expose the political games played by leaking classified documents to the media. David McBride discusses his career and the challenges he faced when he discovered evidence of mishandling of allegations by Defence and political seniors. He highlights the lack of accountability and poor leadership within the military, and the difficulty he faced in trying to bring attention to these issues. McBride emphasises the need for a fair trial and public support to address the systemic problems within the military. He also shares his thoughts on ANZAC Day and the importance of genuine care for veterans. Key Takeaways David McBride, a former legal officer in the Australian Army, leaked information about alleged war crimes committed by Australian soldiers in Afghanistan. He highlights the excessive investigation of special forces soldiers and the political manipulation of the war narrative. McBride emphasises the need for clear rules of engagement and the importance of holding soldiers accountable for their actions. He also discusses how the Australian military mishandled war crimes and prioritised appearances over justice. The government may have tried to cover up war crimes to maintain their alliance with the US. David McBride took action by leaking classified documents to expose political games.

There is a need for a fair trial and public support to address systemic problems within the military. ANZAC Day should be a day of genuine care for veterans, not just political window dressing.

In the defamation trial of the century, Australia's most decorated living soldier is seeking to defend his reputation against reports in three newspapers that he says falsely accuse him of being a war criminal. His lawyers argue Ben Roberts-Smith has been unfairly targeted by envious comrades and assisted by credulous journalists. The newspapers' lawyers say their reporting is true, and that Roberts-Smith broke the ‘moral and legal rules of military engagement', something he denies outright. But who is Ben Roberts-Smith, and how did he earn the military's highest honour, the Victoria Cross?
Australia's most decorated living soldier, Ben Roberts-Smith, is suing three of the country's most trusted newspapers for defamation over articles he says falsely accuse him of war crimes. Whatever the outcome, the ramifications will be immense for public interest journalism, Australia's military and the man venerated as a modern-day war hero
In June 2018, an SAS soldier known in this defamation trial as Person 18 says he received two threatening letters at his barracks in Perth.

It's here, in a compound known as Whiskey 108, that one of the most contested events in this extraordinary defamation trial take place. In their defence, the newspapers allege that at Whiskey 108 Ben Roberts-Smith murdered an Afghan man with a prosthetic leg and ordered a junior member of his patrol to murder another Afghan man as part of a military ‘blooding' ritual. Roberts-Smith strenuously denies these claims and says the two men who were killed were legitimate engagements shot lawfully in the heat of battle.

We hear evidence presented by Ben Roberts-Smith and others who support his version of events, as well as witnesses for the newspapers, read by voice actors

In this episode, host Ben Doherty takes us through both sides, detailing the breakdown of Roberts-Smith's marriage to Emma Roberts and his affair with Person 17. We hear testimony from Roberts-Smith himself, as well as from Person 17 and Emma Roberts – who appear for the newspapers – read by voice actors

It is during this raid, the newspapers allege in court as part of their defence, that Ben Roberts-Smith kicked an unarmed, handcuffed Afghan man off a cliff and then ordered another soldier to shoot him dead. Roberts-Smith denies this outright and says he and another soldier lawfully shot and killed a member of the Taliban they found hiding in a cornfield. In this episode of Ben Roberts-Smith v the media, Ben Doherty takes us through one of the key incidents under dispute in this extraordinary defamation trial – the raid of Darwan. And we hear evidence as presented in court by witnesses for Roberts-Smith and the newspapers in their defence, read by voice actors

Today we hear the Combat Story of Mark Wales, a former Australian SAS (Special Air Service) officer who spent 16 years in the Australian Military, including six years in the elite SAS. He led special operators as a Troop Commander and completed 10 deployments to Afghanistan, Iraq, East Timor, Lebanon, and the Solomon Islands. After separating from the military, Mark battled depression and stress disorders but found a way to power through and turn his life around. Mark would go on to earn an MBA from the prestigious Wharton School of Business and then worked at McKinsey & Company. He has since written the book Survivor: Life in the SAS, was on Australian Survivor (where he met his wife) and competed in the Bear Grylls' World's Toughest Race: Eco Challenge Fiji 2019, which I highly recommend watching on Amazon with your family. And since all this isn't enough, Mark also founded Kill Kapture, a tough-luxury ecommerce brand and is now a sought after keynote and motivational speaker.

Central Station - Stories from Outback Australian Cattle Stations
Having grown up on an island and spending her childhood with the local surf life savers club, Tannas Godfrey could never have predicted what her future held for her: a career in the Australian Military, falling in love with a bloke from the bush, going through the heartache of unsuccessful succession planning, and having to start over. It's so rare that we hear someone speak so candidly about their experience with succession planning, even though its something that every Australian farming family experiences at one point. So, to Tannas, I say thank you for being willing to share your story.

A simply excellent conversation with Catherine Walsh MAICD MAHRI who provided a range of insights regarding decision-making, the importance of your people and being willing to do what your team does. Her views on leader capabilities have changed over time and a critical learning - recognising that leadership is not about you but everyone else and accepting that real leadership is about helping others to shine irrespective of any recognition you might receive. As always, my thanks to my co-host Ben Deverson, Founder, Director and Chief Organiser at Lawganised.

Welcome back to Talking Leadership which takes a slight detour from speaking from with Australian military leaders to exploring the leadership topic from a global perspective. Today's guest is Charlotte Hayes CEng MIMechE, a Major in HM Forces. My co-host, Ben Deverson, Founder, Director and Chief Organiser at Lawganised asked Charlotte to identify what she considered to be her list of key leader capabilities. These included - resilience, being authentic and self-awareness. I sensed that Charlotte holds the relationships amongst her team as important to her professionally and personally, an approach well worth emulating. Ben also asked Charlotte too share her finals thoughts on the leadership topic which she noted as - being your authentic self, know your team and what drives them, explaining and communicating the ‘why' of a task or decision, building resilience and demonstrating grit. Thanks again for following the podcast and stay tuned for more content.
Featuring the latest in activist campaigns and struggles against oppression fighting for a better world with anti-capitalist analysis on current affairs and international politics. NewsreportsGreen Left presenters speak to the following newsupdates.Morrison gives conflicting posturing around ChinaIndia Travel Ban under fire.IP rights and generic covid vaccine.Interviews and DiscussionsInterview with with Andres Vargas, lecturer at Universidad Central de Colombia about the wave of protest sweeping Colombia at the moment. The protests have included a union backed general strike and have seen an explosion in grassroots community organisations fighting back against regressive tax reforms. Vargas told Green left that earlier corporate tax cuts implemented by the right wing government led to a covid exacerbated revenue shortfall, which the government then sought to remedy by implementing sharp regressive tax increases in goods like food and utilities. Vargas says the protests have been met with brutal repression by the police and military but Colombians are 'losing their fear' and he expects large protests will continue in waves at least until 2022 elections.You can listen to the individual interview here.Interview with University of Sydney senior lecturer and author David Brophy about the recent increase in anti Chinese hysteria and racism being cultivated by the federal government. Brophy says Australian belligerence toward China is partly intended to signal ongoing compliance with US projection of military force. Brophy says Taiwan is a 'diabolically complex' political issue but support for self determination in Taiwan can't be advanced with Australian Military force. Brophy says it is important for anti war organising to happen now rather than wait for a war to break out; that a majority of Australians don't want Australia to participate in a war with China; and anti war organisers should not fall for the lie that to oppose war with China one must therefore be a supporter of the Chinese government.You can listen to the individual interview here.
The Government has had more than usual to say about the Australian military lately, and if you've been listening, you might have noticed a distinct shift in rhetoric. Back in November, after the release of a war crimes report which found Australian soldiers had murdered 39 Afghan civilians, the ADF underwent a very public 'dark night of the soul'. Recently though, we've heard reminders that the core business of the military is to kill, albeit in a legitimate combat setting. Along with that, there's been a suggestion that the organisation has become too "woke". Today on the Signal, we examine the reality of ADF culture. Does it need to change, and if so, how?

Australia will follow the United States in withdrawing troops from Afghanistan - marking the end of its involvement in two decades of conflict. - Η Αυστραλία ακολουθεί το παράδειγμα των ΗΠΑ και αποχωρεί από το Αφγανιστάν, ανακοίνωσε σήμερα ο Αυστραλός πρωθυπουργός, κάνοντας λόγο για ιστορική στιγμή. Σε μία σπάνια έκφραση συναισθηματικής φόρτισης, ο Σκοτ Μόρισον σχεδόν δάκρυσε διαβάζοντας τα ονόματα 41 Αυστραλών, που σκοτώθηκαν στον πόλεμο στο Αφγανιστάν τα τελευταία 20 χρόνια.
Today’s podcast guest served in the Australian military for 15 years and joined the Army at age 17. She is a keynote speaker specialising in the fields of leadership, resilience and change.

Welcome back to the Leadership & the Australian Military podcast and as always a big thanks to my podcast co-host Ben Deverson, the Founder, Director and Chief Organiser at Lawganised. Ben and I were extremely fortunate to record a podcast with Brigadier Mark Ascough, CSC, DSM. Amongst many insights, Brigadier Ascough identified four key approaches to managing his teams including, (1) seeing the bigger picture, (2) brilliance of the basics, (3) working as a team and (4) relationships matter. Ben asked Brigadier Ascough to identify what he considered key leader capabilities which were building trust and respect, being prepared to act and listening. As always thank you for listening.
On December 30, 2020, in a joint police and military operation, Tumandok indigenous leaders were tortured and shot in their homes. 16 others were arrested. Some were over 70 years old. These Tumandok people were branded terrorists because they were opposed to the construction of the Jalaur Mega Dam. On today’s show, we hear from May Kotsakis from the Philippines Australia Solidarity Association and Berlin Guerrero from Bayan Australia about the impacts of Australian Military Aid to the Philippines.To support PASA, Bayan Australia and many others in their work and to oppose this appalling use of our aid budget, please contact Australian foreign Minister Marise Payne and demand that she condemn the Tumandok massacre.

Kevin Toonen - Elite operator in two Worlds.Kevin Toonen has an extensive and diverse background in physical preparation. Having spent 20 years in the Australian Military he was responsible for his own physical preparation but also elite operators in the special forces. He has now taken that knowledge and skillset and implemented it @98gymsydney with his business partner Chris Feather.In the Podcast, we cover a lot of valuable ground, a lot of around how his experiences and the culture he has been around for so many years has shaped the performance mindset of his gym. In fact, he sums it up with quotes like “Performance before Aesthetics” and “Our gym is a safe place to fail”.I really enjoyed his perspective, concise, refreshing, simple, but powerful. I hope you enjoy this one too.
Welcome back to the final Talking Leadership episode for 2020. A big thanks to Colin Lea who is a Partner at the Carey Group. The takeaway learning for me, not everyone wants to be a leader. Colin identified that in both the military and civilian contexts, many highly skilled individuals want to work in a technical / operational role and have no desire to progress to leadership roles. The ‘however’ that Colin points out is that people being people – our priorities can change and maybe a technical expert in your business wants to move into a leadership role but does not know how to go about it. A situation that leaders really need to be aware of in order to grow their teams and businesses.This interview adds to the amazing insights provided in this series focusing on leadership in the Australian Military context. The process of hosting was made easy with the assistance of my co-host, Ben Deverson the Founder and Director at Lawganised. A lot more to come in this series in February 2021 and a huge thanks to Ben who will stay on as co-host.Thank you for following the podcast and please share the episode, follow me on YouTube and if please subscribe to support the channel.
In this week's podcast episode, I talk to National Music Director of the Australian Military Wives Choir Cath Parsons about her journey as a spouse and where the idea for the AMWChoir came from. Cath and I also talk about; How the choir went from being a handful of people in Canberra to 12 locations around Australia Why the Choir is about what we do as spouses rather than what our military partners do at work How the choir creates a safe space for spouses and why all singing abilities are welcome Why the choir isn't about rank or service and the main focus is about connection and social inclusion How COVID restrictions resulted in zoom rehearsals and even greater access for those wanting to join Where to get involved and the types of songs they sing *hint, hint the choir is far from boring when it comes to song choice, think Tay Tay and Bruno Mars).

Tom's two books are called ‘Life is a dance' and ‘Storm Clouds & Silver Linings – my journey'. To get your copy of Tom's books go to: www.tomstodulkaauthor.com Thanks for this delightful chat Tom. If you'd like to be interviewed on the Indie Author Interview Series or Showcase Your Biz contact Pip to ask questions @Pip Coleman Author Coach or you can book in for a 30 minute complimentary ‘what's it all about' chat: https://pipcoleman.clickbook.net/sub/pipcoleman/ Tom was born in Bathurst, NSW in 1951, in one of Australia's post WWII refugee camps, a huge improvement on the UN Displaced Person's Camp in Naples where his brother Andrea was born. After some intense cross border encounters in Germany, Switzerland and Holland, his parents Zdeny and Philomena had fled Czechoslovakia in 1947 and were ordered to travel by train to Naples, where life was no picnic to say the least. Tom's early formative years were spent in Parramatta and after being educated at the King's School and North Sydney Boys High he studied law at Sydney University, where he won an Australia Britain Society scholarship, which took him on an overseas study tour. In 1976 he joined the Royal Australian Navy as a naval legal officer and served in most Australian States and in the United States during the 1990-91 Gulf War, after a short stint in Pakistan and the Khyber Pass. After 20 years in the Australian Military he established a full time career as a mediator and facilitator, practicing throughout Australia, including the Northern Territory before settling in Brisbane in 2002. An early pioneer of mediation and alternative dispute resolution and mentored by Sir Laurence Street, he has promoted its benefits both here in Australia and overseas. Tom is accredited internationally and in particular, in India, PNG and Hong Kong and has promoted mediation across Vietnam in recent years. Tom has been fortunate to have enormous support from his parents and his loving wife Janet and three children, Louisa, Katherine and William. This, along with the great support from many friends and colleagues across the country has played a major role in shaping him every step of the way. Growing up in a refugee household, where English was a second language to German, had its challenges and benefits. Assimilation was the order of the day and resilience and unimaginable strength and sacrifice shown by his parents and his grandmother created a unique background and environment. At prep school he struggled with his English essays and often his mother stepped in to help, despite her own challenges learning a new language. Being a contemporary of the author John Marsden helped to inspire Tom, years later, to try his hand at writing. Tom was always a happy child, able to keep up a positive disposition, despite the many home pressures and stresses of day to day life. His father was a successful Sydney artist and Tom played a major role in the management and promotion of the cottage industry which contributed to helping pay the prohibitive school fees. The early exposure to the arts and artistic endeavour provided a strong and enduring legacy. Finally, in 1976 whilst at sea in the Pacific Ocean with the Navy he wrote his first poem and found a way to express his own artistic creativity. Tom is optimistic about his next book of poems and has commenced writing a series of short stories. Life, love and work intertwine with nature in a unique series of poems. No matter what the day to day challenges are, as life unfolds from youth to almost three score & 10, Tom Stodulka tries to face each day with positivity. Journey with Tom through tales of Australian life, discover local flora and fauna and learn from his experiences in his work as a mediator. Tom shares his deep appreciation of nature, his passion for his work and takes the reader on a journey through life.
Today’s podcast confirms my own view of the value of speaking about leadership. I would like to thank Drew Horsell, the Owner/Director at Horsell. The podcast would not be what it is with the help of my co-host, Ben Deverson the Founder and Director of Lawganised.Drew is a big believer in being open and honest in his dealing with stakeholders and holding the proper treatment of his staff as a paramount concern. He also stated that he would rather lose a contract than maintain a business arrangement that is detrimental to his employees. Drew also mentioned that aligning values and purpose sends a clear statement about what your organisation supports and the kind of leaders you are likely to encounter.As always, thank you for following the podcast.

To start, I apologise for the late posting. Welcome to the third episode of leadership and the Australian military. The podcast would not have been produced without the help of Ben Deverson my co-host, the Founder and Director of Lawganised. Today’s guest is Jonathan Clark, Director at The Eighth Mile Consulting. The conversation has been split into two podcast sessions so please do yourself a favour and settle in for what is an amazing leadership story and yet another reason to consider the Australian military as a career option.Episode 3, Part 1 – What does ‘good’ leadership look like? Jonathan asked this question and suggested he was well aware of what good is from his time in the military. How many of us working in the civilian world really know what good leadership looks like?Episode 3, Part 2 – Jonathan made the following statement, ‘vulnerability is not a weakness’. Letting others you work with know you are human is only one part of developing a culture where leaders earn respect not demand it.Please share these podcasts. Jonathan has advice around the leadership topic well worth considering. As always thank you for following the podcast and catch you all again next week.

Welcome to the second episode in the new series focusing on leadership and the Australian military context. Thank my co-host Ben Deverson, Founder and Director of Lawganised. Today’s podcast guest is Dr Adrian McCallum an academic in the science and civil engineering field at the University of the Sunshine Coast, a specialist recruiter for the Australian Army and consultant. Adrian asked the following: what is leadership? To constantly communicate, keeping people in the loop, understanding how people think and relationship building and influencing others. Ben asked a question regarding Adrian’s work in extreme environments which led to a discussion around crisis management. The ability to step back assess the situation and seek views from others seems counter to a typical panicked reaction. I hope you enjoy this podcast and a lot more content on the way.
A fantastic first podcast and a big thanks from me to my co-host Ben Deverson, Founder and Director at Lawganised.Today’s podcast guest is David Neal, Director at The Eighth Mile Consulting.

Luke McLeod is the founder of the Soul Society and Soul Alive; a growing community of like-minded people united to live balanced, fulfilled lives.In this episode of the Human Potential Podcast Luke talks with our host, Oliver Freer, about breaking down the challenges and stereotypes of meditation; why 'leaving your tribe' is important and developing positive lifelong habits to deal with stress, anxiety & depression.More about Luke McLeodLuke dropped out of school and joined the army for five years and then went to study business and started a team building business with his friend whilst in University. He is now in the process of writing his first book.Luke found meditation around ten years ago and he originally used it as a tool to improve work performance. However, at the being of 2016, he experienced a series of events in a three-month period that rocked him. This included the end of ten-year relationship, a shocking business failure, a major falling out with a close friend combined with his father and his brother-in-law simultaneously being diagnosed with cancer. After the traumatic series of events he found himself at an ashram in India where he immersed himself in the different teachings and traditions of meditation.The key lesson he learnt through the trauma and subsequent teachings is that when there's no one to turn to you can turn inwards and find everything you need. “All the answers lay there and as long as you're still breathing you have everything you need. Everything else is just a bonus or a lesson”.Coming back to Australia from India, Luke has made it his mission to try and introduce meditation to as many people as possible.Over the past four years Luke’s guided meditations have been embraced by thousands all around the world and he has worked to bring the benefits of meditation into the corporate world including the likes of American Express, KPMG & Lululemon.Luke’s latest venture, Soul Alive, aims to help introduce meditation to the broader community in a convenient and relatable manner.Luke McLeod’s Book recommendationMan's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl A book written in 1946 chronicling the author’s experiences as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camp during World War II and the key lesson he learned from surviving the trauma.

The Principles of War - Lessons from Military History on Strategy, Tactics and Leadership.
We start our look at the Battle of Long Tan, which occured on the 18th August 1966, 4km east of the Australian Task Force base at Nui Dat. Outnumber 20:1, the Australians took 18 KIA and 24 WIA in one of the most important and most famous battles of the whole Australian involvement in Long Tan. Our guide through Australian Military's History most famous rubber plantation is Dave Sabben. Dave was the Platoon Commander of 12 Platoon, Delta Company on that day at Long Tan. Conscription has been used by many countries through history as they rapidly increase the size of their defence forces in response to changing strategic circumstances, circumstances that have changed quickly and require a faster response than could be achieved with the full time Defence Force. How did the Australian Defence Force mobilised for operations in Vietnam? We look at conscription and the history of professional armies. We start by looking at some of the components of a professional army and what the role of conscription is within the concept of National readiness. Professional armies are very expensive to maintain and so we look at 2 components of readiness that are used to decrease the cost of having a large standing force. How was conscription for Vietnam different to conscription in Australia during World War 2? Dave starts by talking us through the conscription process and his initial training at Kapooka. We look at the reason for the conscription in the 1960's. Dave discusses what the aim of the training program was and the skills that officers were to receive at Scheyville. How was the training program designed and how were leadership skills developed at OTU Scheyville?

He is the co-owner of The Practice Bali and has a remarkably diverse bio which includes retirement from the Australian Military as a major, service to the Olympics as a Security Consultant, Fitness Instructor, NLP Master Practitioner, Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, keynote speaker and internationally acclaimed coach. Carl has been studying the science of happiness and testing out what some of the leading happiness experts have to say for more than a decade. Here, Carl shares a bit about his happiness and authentic success journey with me We chat about the importance of the 6 pillars to optimum health Physical Activity Nutrient Abundance Detoxification Rest Mindfulness Wholeheartedness Just like yoga is the is about progressing through the physical movement to access the breath (Pranayama) in order to access the consciousness, the same method is needed to access consciousness with the 6 steps above. We chat about how meditation is an important daily task to fully thrive in today's over sensory world. "I have travelled the road less travelled, the road well travelled, and a lot of whacky paths in between. One of the life-changing paths started with a personal development course in 1999, which caused me to delve into the exciting world of personal development, where I develop an insatiable thirst for knowledge and wisdom, along with physical mind-body practices like yoga and meditation. As an Australian Army Major at the age of 29, I decided at one point that the box I had learned awesome skills in was just not big enough so I resigned, skipped countries, and took up a role as a Consultant to the 2002 Salt Lake Winter Olympic Games. My leap of faith lead to five amazing years consulting to mega sports events across the world. But it was in 2007, where I finally found the courage to leave my cushy consulting work to follow my true calling of helping people to tap into their full potential. It was time to set up a Coaching practice, with Bali as my main base. Fast forward a few years and I have now coached CEO’s, elite athletes, world record holders, actors, UN workers, business owners, entrepreneurs and everything in between. I have also presented seminars to companies like Chevron, Aspire Zone, FINN Group and the SWIRE Group. Plus I run adventure retreats abroad and now authored three books (The Guidebook to Happiness, The Guidebook to Optimum Health, and The Guidebook to Authentic Success). In the end, I just love seeing people tap into (a lot) more of the potential I know they all have. With 20 years of strategic planning skills, plus skills as a NLP master practitioner, reiki master, personal fitness trainer, hypnotherapist, and Coach, I am fascinated to find the little things we can start doing or stop doing, to unlock our latent potential."

Why were three courageous Australian Quaker grannies for Peace arrested by military police for blocking the road to Shoalwater Bay Military Base Queensland, in 2015? BUT - That did not deter them. They protested again, at the super secret spy station - Pine Gap on September 2016. Having enticed Helen Bayes into the studio, this interview covers not only the story of these staunch seniors, but also explains something of Quakers, and their peace testimony. As part of Peace Convergence 2015 'Quaker Grannies for Peace' set up a tea table blockading the access road to Samuel Hill / Shoalwater Bay military base, which is used for the Talisman Sabre military exercises. (Talisman Sabre is a biennial joint Australia-United States military exercise. It involves joint exercises performed by the Australian Defence Force and the United States Military across six locations in northern and central Australia, the Coral Sea, and in Honolulu, Denver, and Suffolk, Va., though the bulk of the exercises are concentrated at the Shoalwater Bay Military Training Area, and other locations in northern and central Australia.) Grandmother of thirteen, Helen Bayes explains why they would protest this: "Our Quaker peace testimony from 1661 says 'We utterly deny all outward wars and strife and fighting with outward weapons for any end or under any pretence whatsoever.” The grannies set up a table and chairs and prepared tea and cake in order to engage in dialogue with military personnel. "Negotiation is not currently part of the war rehearsals, so we are drawing attention to this missing element," said Helen, " Yet it essential to achieve peace." The Quaker Grannies said they came "with the conviction that a world of increasingly destructive weaponry threatens our continued existence and that nonviolent strategies are essential to our survival". After being arrested by military police and handed over to local police, the Grannies were convicted, on July 14, 2015, of trespass, and fined $500 each, with no conviction recorded. In 2016 “Quaker Grannies for Peace” set up breakfast on the road to Pine Gap, and invited military personnel arriving for work at the base to sit down with them. The action was one of a series of events marking the 50th anniversary of the secret US military facility at Pine Gap, by groups advocating for the base’s closure. Founder of the Quaker Grannies Helen Bayes said: “We are asking Australians whether it is appropriate for a foreign country to be operating a secret facility with no transparency on Australian soil; a base that may well be implicating Australians in wars that our government has not entered into.” Located half-an-hour's drive south-west of Alice Springs, Pine Gap is one of Australia's most secret sites. It collects various kinds of data from the Asia Pacific and the Middle East, including targeting data for American drone operations and assassinations. Partly run by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) and U.S. National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), Pine Gap is a key contributor to the global surveillance network ECHELON. (New Zealand’s Waihopai Spy Base is also a part of ECHILON, or Five Eyes. It is a secure communication facility, located near Blenheim, run by New Zealand's Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB).) Helen Bayes is a Melbourne based English-born activist who won the Australia's Human Rights Medal in 1999. She was born into a Quaker family in Northern England and migrated to Australia in 1966, at age 22. She has 4 adult children and 13 grandchildren. She holds a BA in Social Work and BA (Hons) in Social Administration, and had a 15-year career in the National and State Public Service in the areas of Social Policy and Community Services. Helen resigned from the Public Service and set up an international child rights advocacy NGO called the Australian Section of Defence for Children International, and has served that organisation in Australia, in Geneva, and on the International Council for 20 years. Helen Bayes was awarded the Australian Human Rights Medal for this work in 1999. Helen's concern for the rights of children grew into a fascination with early Quakerism. As Eva Koch Fellow at the Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre, she researched the views of the earliest Quakers on the nurturing and guidance of children and young people. She was the James Backhouse Lecturer in 2002 (the Australian equivalent of the SP Gardner Lecture), entitled Respecting the Rights of Children and Young People: A New Perspective on Quaker Faith and Practice. On a lighter side, Helen collects Quaker bonnets, one of which she is wearing in the above photo.
