A police operation has begun clearing a group of protesters camped near the Aboriginal Tent Embassy outside Old Parliament House in Canberra.
Representatives linked to the Aboriginal Tent Embassy, which is set to celebrate its 50 year anniversary on January 26, have condemned their behaviour and stressed they are not linked with the group. The movement captured the nation’s attention after being linked to a fire at Old Parliament House on 30 December 2021.A 30-year-old man from Bourke, New South Wales, was charged with arson, defacing and damaging property, assaulting a front line worker and resisting arrest.
The NCA, which is the Australian government agency responsible for the management of the precinct, has enlisted the Australian Federal Police to ensure safe proceedings on January 26.
