      They couped Whitlam and Rudd for trying to tax the mining corpos, can you imagine if Albanese tried to shut down Pine Gap.

        They (CIA) couped Whitlam for trying to regain control over Pine Gap, nothing to do with mining, that was just Rudd (and I’m pretty sure the CIA was uninvolved in that knifing, that was just naked ambition over coming morals).
