According to the Media Release from the Arabunna Keepers of Lake Eyre, Thursday June 22, 2000: “South Australia WMC EVICTION TO GO BEFORE THE HIGH COURT Re: Arabunna Going Home Camp, Lake Eyre South At 10 am this morning Keepers of Lake Eyre filed court documents (Notice of Motion) with the High Court of Australia (High Court). The High Court issued these proceedings as No. A 20 of 2000. This Notice of Motion is to remove the Western Mining (WMC) eviction proceedings, in the Supreme Court of South Australia (Supreme Court), to the High Court. The WMC notice is against un-named defendants, at the Arabunna Going Home camp, at Lake Eyre South, where the Sacred Fire for Peace is burning… Kevin Buzzacott, Arabunna Elder and Peacemaker, has served several Eviction Notices on WMC since 1998. He began court proceedings on March 25, last year (1999), in the Supreme Court, to get an order from the court to evict WMC from Arabunna land… Judge Kelly, in the Supreme Court of South Australia, on June 8 (2000), acknowledged the importance of this case (otherwise known as “the Arabunna Genocide Case”), and it was directed to the High Court” (see: http://www.lakeeyre.green.net.au/eviction-notice-high-court.html ).

Chris Littlejohn, Arabunna Keeper of Lake Eyre, who filed the documents the the High Court over WMC on Arabunna Land (2000):

“What we are asking is who are the real trespassers here? And under who’s law? The law of the foreign genocidists? Or, Ancient Arabunna law? There is absolutely no evidence that the Arabunna have ever given consent to WMC’s activities on their land.” [1].
