“Like the premise of the story, I was myself never fully aware of the entirety of the ins and outs of this gigantic event. All we ever got was Gough giving us his eloquent rebuttals: what a toastmaster! Genius orator.
But this podcast was something else. Riveting. Thrilling and exciting. I listened with my Kurdish partner with awe and baited breath. I wanted her to hear along with me a part of my cultural heritage and she was hooked instantly. We live in the U.K. but I was home all the way. I was born in 1970, in Sydney and moved west to West Wylong and Grenfell in the 70s. I heard what I thought there was all to hear, but I never heard hardly any of it.
But now, I’ve got the whole darn story of intrigue and espionage that none could make up. We know that Pine Gap exists but always knew that no one knows what it is. It’s our non-sovereignty complicity. A horrible infringement. And now we can see the binds that tie us, the beds we sleep in, and the friends we have.
And it’s fascinating.
Hollywood-um, what about this story instead of another rehash our remake??”
