Pro-Palestinian activists have staged protests at the Australian-U.S. military base in Pine Gap and the United States consulate in Melbourne.

At the consulate, footage has emerged of activists locking themselves to the entrance of the consulate in front of signs stating “close Pine Gap,” “stop the genocide,” and “Australia’s #1 partner, world’s #1 terrorist.”
