Pro-Palestinian activists camping at the University of Adelaide say fireworks scorched tents when they were let off around their campsite.
Student protesters at the University of Adelaide have rallied after fireworks were let off at their campus encampment on Wednesday night.
Tom Gilchrist, an organiser of the Students for Palestine group running the encampment, said the people present were shaken by the event. In a statement, the university said it had increased the security presence on campus "to ensure the safety and welfare of its community." "They haven't shown their faces, and I think that's why we're calling it a cowardly tactic," Mr Gilchrist said.Defence chief rejects China's spying accusation after flare confrontationThe government's future gas policy first must ensure Australia's future gas needs
