Wiradjuri man, Adrian Charles Davis, 63, inspiring Aboriginal people to stand up for their Sovereignty, was arrested for refusing to leave the restaurant (‘Commonwealth premises’). He appeared in the ACT Magistrate’s Court on 4 December 2017, was granted bail and will face court again in May 2018.

The activists reclaimed the restaurant as an act of Sovereignty, were seeking return of their ancestral lands in the area and rent since 1968.
