Well that would make her, what, 11 when she had sex? Maybe they should be investigating the father for possible jail time?

How? I'm an Aussie, and this is no great unexpected revelation. Pine Gap is a joint Aus/US operated facility, and I'm pretty sure that nobody really thought that it was just a nice place meeeting place for American and Australians to swap recipes.
