Australia To Become International Nuclear Waste Dump...Now For IndiaOne of the main reasons for the Halliburton-built Adelaide to Darwin Railway now becomes apparent. If the Australian Government's mooted plans come to fruition, trains of imported nuclear waste trundling to repositories in the Australian outback will soon become a reality. Halliburton have had a dual role in Australia, creating the tracks and providing environmental impact date for nuclear waste facilities.

Pine Gap Guides Missiles To OsamaAustralia's Pine Gap base was used to send 32 cruise missiles at Osama Bin Laden. The missiles failed to kill the Al Qaeda leader as he had left the target site approximately twenty minutes earlier. International affairs commentator and policy advisor Mr Keith Suiter said on Adelaide radio this morning that the US surveillance installation at PIne Gap assisted in monitoring Bin Laden's satellite phone call to his mother and pinpointing his location for the missile attack.
