Aboriginal People in Northern Territory Parliament House Protest

On August 3rd 2001 homeless Aboriginal people in Darwin protested against proposed 'anti-social behaviour' laws outside the Northern Territory's Parliament House and the continued harassment of homeless people, known as 'long grassers', by the Darwin City Council. After speeches, including this impassioned rally by Dr Bill Day, the protestors occupied the foyer of the Darwin Civic Centre. The whole event was filmed by Robbie and Stuart Courtenay and later edited with the help of Anda Fellows into a film titled 'We live in the long grass!'. This video clip is a short extract.
