from abc online Police clear city protest camp in dawn swoop The protest site, dubbed "Genocide Corner", set up outside Government House in Adelaide, has been cleared by police and City Council workers. Two people at the site were taken away by police. People protesting on behalf of the Arabunna people from South Australia's far north set up the site to protest against mining by WMC resources at Roxby Downs. At dawn today police and City Council staff moved in on the site on lawns outside Government House on North Terrace. They put out the campfire, and removed all the banners and camping gear while police arrested two people including Kevin Buzzacott, the protest organiser. Len Lyndon, a lawyer working with the protestors says the action is a poor indictment on the Adelaide community.
