A group of Canberra anarchists dropped 3 banners around the Civic in the nation's capital, as an autonomous action in solidarity with Aboriginal Tent Embassy's 40 years of struggle. One banner was hung on the pedestrian bridge on Alinga St reading '(AUSTRALIA - crossed out) INVASION DAY. SOVEREIGNTY NEVER CEDED". Another two were hung from a large empty building on London CCt directly opposite the Department of Public Prosecutions and an Australian Federal Police station which read "224 YEARS OF OCCUPATION, 224 YEARS OF RESISTANCE" and "STOLEN LAND".
