COURT ORDERED GENOCIDE
Activist Robert Corowa reacts to a Victorian Supreme Court ruling that Aborigines must dismantle their King's Domain protest camp:
"It's just another case of genocide really, you know, trying to remove us from doing our culture and our ceremonies."Mr Corowa is, however, keen to prevent non-Aborigines doing their cultural ceremonial thing:
A woman has told police she was threatened by a protester as she jogged through the Aboriginal camp site in Melbourne's King's Domain.That court order is a double edged sword.
Mr Corowa says he has a right to ask people to stay out of the camp site, which was largely dismantled yesterday after a deadline for the protesters to leave lapsed.
"I mean it's not a public place - it's a sacred site," he said.
"We've got a Supreme Court order ... to keep the fire, we're got 38 bones over there, it's a sacred site."
