The Australian Signals Directorate is an intelligence agency that has helped the US and Israel execute their murderous wars in the Middle East.

The Australian National University has an official partnership with the ASD, helping it conduct research and recruiting students to the ASD workforce.

As students, staff and other members of the community, we want to see all links severed between our university and the drive to imperialism. That's why we're calling on the ANU to CLOSE CO-LAB!

The ASD, in partnership with the NSA and the CIA, oversees Pine Gap. Because of its location, the intelligence gathered at Pine Gap is indespensable for the US carrying out targeted strikes in the Middle East. It has almost definitely played a role in the US strikes that have murdered over a thousand Iranians in the last few weeks. 

It's impossible to know the full extent of Pine Gap's involvement in the genocide in Gaza, but there is substantial evidence that Israel has been assisted in its war aims by information gathered from Pine Gap in the past, an example of which is during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. As such, this is likely still the case today. 

Students for Palestine Canberra are campaigning alongside pro-Palestine students around the country to make our universities places free of warmongering, weapons research, and ties to genocide.
