  1. involving expenditure
    * over a certain amount must be presented to a Senate body, the Joint
    * Parliamentary Accounts Committee (JPAC). In 1975 JPAC was asked to
    * examine and approve finance for the construction of a new building in
    * Deakin, a leafy suburb of Canberra.
    *
    * This quite massive building was to be constructed behind an existing, much
    * smaller one, which, until then, had been known to the public only as the
    * "Deakin Telephone Exchange."
    *
    * That it was not, and never had been, simply a "telephone exchange" finally
    * came to light in the 1975 JPAC Approval Report, when it admitted that the
    * existing building had a comprehensive basement which housed NASA's micro-
    * wave communications headquarters in Australia. Part of the justification
    * of the "need" for the new, much larger building, was that by 1980, it was
    * expected that NASA would run out of room in their existing home.
    *
    * Apart from NASA, it is now admitted that Deakin houses the National
    * Computer Headquarters for, amongst others, the Australian Defense
    * Department, the Australian Taxation Office, the Department of Social
    * Security, the Commonwealth Department of Education, and the Department
    * of Transport and Communications.
    *
    * Both Tax and Social Security are, in turn, directly linked to Medicare.
    * In fact, the Department of Health used Social Security's computer
    * facilities there until their own were completed.
    *
    * A small, but highly significant, part of the building is, in fact,
    * occupied by Telecom.
