Aboriginals clash at tent embassy

Rival indigenous groups clashed today as local tribe members tried to evict residents of a so-called “Aboriginal tent embassy” set up 30 years ago in the Australian capital.

Local Ngunnawal tribe elders walked onto the grounds in front of the Old Parliament House around midday, put out a symbolic fire kept burning by the protesters and began tearing down the tents and makeshift huts that made up the site.
